With Donnell Wallam a late scratching due to illness, Moore and Tippah Dwan had to combine in a moving circle for the Firebirds and it was Moore who hit the winning goal inside the final minute to secure a nailbiting 61-60 win at Ken Rosewall Arena.
It's the Firebirds first win on the road this season and their first back-to-back wins after last weekend's upset over the West Coast Fever, ensuring Queensland are still a chance of making the SSN finals going into two home matches to wrap up the regular season.
Playing her first four-quarter game of the season, Moore finished with five two-pointers on her way to a 23-point haul.
Dwan scored 38 points including seven Suncorp Super Shots with Ali Miller drafted into the team at late notice after Wallam was ruled out.
Both Moore and Dwan hit crucial Suncorp Super Shots late in the first quarter to ensure the Firebirds went into the break trailing 19-15 after being as many as six goals down at one point.
The Firebirds made a great start to the second quarter, scoring the first five goals to quickly wipe out the deficit.
Both teams then went toe-to-toe for the remainder of the quarter, with only a Swifts goal right on halftime ensuring the hosts held a one-goal lead at the main break.
Back-to-back turnovers in the third quarter had the Firebirds trailing by six goals before another fightback.
With Dwan hitting from two-point range, the visitors clawed back the gap, winning the quarter by one goal to ensure scores were level 49-all at the main break.
It was again a see-sawing affair in the fourth quarter with the Firebirds down by one when Moore passed back out of the circle to then receive the ball in the Suncorp Super Shot zone, bravely nailing the goal before the Firebirds held the hosts at bay in the dying seconds to claim a memorable victory.
Macy Gardner racked up 126 Nissan Net Points in a performance including 22 goal assists, 40 feeds and six pick ups while midcourt partners Lara Dunkley (17 goal assists, 44 feeds, one gain, one intercept) and Hulita Veve (three deflections) were also sensational.
Ruby Bakewell-Doran's five gains were the highlight of her defensive effort against English superstar Helen Housby.
The Firebirds return home next weekend for a sold-out First Nations Round clash against the Sunshine Coast Lightning at Nissan Arena next Saturday.
