Breanna Stewart played hero in Wednesday night's 2026 Unrivaled championship game, lifting the No. 2-seed Mist BC over the top-seeded Phantom 80-74 to claim the 3×3 basketball league's Season 2 trophy.
The Unrivaled co-founder and Wednesday's Championship Game MVP dropped 32 points in the title victory while Stewart's Mist teammates Arike Ogunbowale and Allisha Gray added 19 and 12 points, respectively.
Though they failed to log a win over the Phantom in regular-season play, the Mist came through when it counted, booking both the 2026 title and the championship team check worth $600,000.
Despite the loss, Phantom guard Kelsey Plum made Unrivaled history in the matchup, scoring a playoff-record 40 points as her team fought to overcome the loss of 2026 Defensive Player of the Year Aliyah Boston, who missed the Unrivaled postseason due to injury.
"AB's been our anchor defensively all year," Plum told reporters postgame. "We missed her a lot tonight."
As for the Mist, Wednesday's title represents a big club turnaround after the team ended 2025 in fifth place, missing the playoffs entirely before restocking their roster ahead of this year's second-place finish.
"What I'll remember the most about this Mist team is we might not be the loudest, but we're going to work the hardest," Stewart said.
