Gray is in fine form and put up some monster performances to close out the season, recording 38 points against Mist BC on March 1 and 33 points against Vinyl BC on Monday. Gray and Rose BC will take on Laces BC in Unrivaled’s semifinals on Sunday.

Chelsea has shown up for Rose BC against all the teams left in the playoffs, accordingly, she is an early favorite to snag the 2025 Finals MVP award. However, it will take a combined effort from the entire squad if Rose BC wants any chance at going all the way.
