3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Sports · Jun 26

Summary

  • 53 points from Marina Mabrey powered Toronto's 125-94 rout of Los Angeles, tying the WNBA single-game scoring record and matching the league mark with nine made 3-pointers.
  • 17-of-28 shooting and a late burst of three triples in two minutes carried Mabrey to the record after she had already scored 27 by halftime and 39 through three quarters.
  • 125 points gave the expansion Tempo the highest regulation scoring total in WNBA history; only Phoenix's 127 in a 2010 double-overtime game was higher overall.
  • 37 points last Friday had already set Toronto's franchise record, and Mabrey has now tied the nine-3-pointer league record twice in her past three games.
  • 8-9 Toronto is in its inaugural season, while the 29-year-old Mabrey is averaging a career-best 21.2 points and strengthening her case for a first All-Star selection.
