Marina Mabrey Got 53 The Fun Way
I score in bunches, and then sometimes kinda just level out, Toronto Tempo guard Marina Mabrey said near the end of her press conference after the Tempo's 125-97 win over the L.A. Sparks on Thursday. It was an accurate description of her own game, which is built on constant movement and a scalding but occasionally evanescent shooting touch. On Thursday night, however, we finally got to see what would happen if Mabrey never reached the kinda just level out phase. What if a whole game was just one big scoring bunch? Well, in that case, Mabrey would walk away with 53 points and a share of the WNBA single-game scoring record. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5OHRTRpztE Save your tsking about stat-padding for the next gunner who goes for the record, because this is as pure as 53-point nights come. Mabrey went 17-of-28 from the floor, 9-of-18 from three-point range, and 10-of-12 from the free-throw line. And thanks to the quirks of the Tempo's home arena, she wasn't even aware that the record was in reach until she had 50 points.
