Marina Mabrey Ties WNBA Record with 53-Point Outburst

As the clock struck halftime, the Toronto crowd was already on their feet, screaming as Marina Mabrey danced down the court, her teammates cheering her on. The scoreboard was a distant second to the spectacle unfolding before their eyes: Toronto 67, Los Angeles 45. Mabrey’s 43 points were just the beginning, but it was hard to imagine how anyone could possibly match such a torrid pace.

The answer, as it turned out, was ‘Marina Mabrey, same game.’ The Tempo star poured in 10 more points in the third quarter, pushing her total to 53, a number that had the entire arena talking long before the final buzzer sounded. She tied the WNBA record for most points scored in a single game, joining the likes of Sheryl Swoopes and Diana Taurasi. The 125-97 blowout was a team effort, with three other Tempo players scoring in double figures.

For Mabrey, this record-tying performance was a testament to her tireless work ethic and unwavering confidence. ‘I knew I was in a zone,’ she said after the game, still grinning from ear to ear. ‘From honestly everywhere.’ She went 9 for 13 from behind the three-point line, a feat that cemented her status as one of the league’s top shooters.

Now, the Tempo will look to build on this momentum as they face off against the Storm in their next game. With Mabrey leading the charge, can they finally break through and take the top spot in the Eastern Conference? The stakes are high, but one thing is certain: Marina Mabrey will be the one to watch.

It’s worth noting that this record-breaking performance marked a turning point in the season for the Tempo, who are now 18-5 and solidly in second place.
