Marina Mabrey scored 53 points on Thursday night, tying the WNBA single-game scoring record in Toronto's 125-97 Sparks vs Tempo win.
Marina Mabrey Ties Multiple WNBA Records Against Sparks
The Tempo guard went 17-of-28 from the field and tied the league mark with nine 3-pointers on 18 attempts. She also hit 10 of 12 free throws in just 32 minutes.
Her performance matches the single-game records set by Liz Cambage in 2018 and A'ja Wilson in 2023. Still, Mabrey didn't even realize she was close until her sister Michaela, sitting courtside, told her she was three points away from the WNBA record.
"After you get into a state like that, it's kind of hard to know what you're really doing," Mabrey said. "I think tonight was just my night from the 3-point line and from honestly everywhere. It was all going in."
Toronto also got a record-setting night from guard Julie Allemand, who dished 14 assists with zero turnovers while consistently finding Mabrey in rhythm.
For LA, Nneka Ogwumike and Dearica Hamby led the struggling Sparks with 21 points apiece.
