If you’re currently watching the WNBA<\/a> Saturday Showcase between the Minnesota Lynx and the Las Vegas Aces, you’re probably wondering what the W record for most points in a game is, and what the WNBA record for most 3-pointers in a game by one player is. <\/p>\n

We have answers!<\/p>\n

Most points scored by a team in a WNBA game<\/p>\n

I’m not sure what happened in the third week of July 2010, but the Phoenix Mercury were going kind of crazy. <\/p>\n

Firstly, the two highest-scoring games in league history happened in the same game! Phoenix beat Minnesota, 127-124, in 2OT, on July 24, 2010.<\/p>\n

They both broke the record of 123 points that Phoenix had set two days earlier in a game against the Tulsa Shock (bring them back). Two of the three highest-scoring games in league history in back to back games is outrageous!<\/p>\n

In order for Minnesota to break the Mercs’ record, they’ll need to score 60 points in the second half against Vegas. Doesn’t seem too crazy after 67 in the first!<\/p>\n\n

Most 3-pointers made in a WNBA game<\/p>\n

You don’t have to go back to far to find the most recent example of a WNBA player hitting a record-tying nine 3-pointers in a game. Rhyne Howard did it last month!<\/p>\n

Arike Ogunbowale, Jewell Loyd and Kelsey Mitchell have all connected on nine 3s, too. No player has ever hit double-digit 3s in a single WNBA game… Maybe until today? Kayla McBride is currently 8 for 8 at halftime of the Lynx game, and this list will be updated accordingly.<\/p>\n\n

Aces season might be hitting rock bottom against Lynx<\/p>\n

It feels like we’ve said this a few times this year, but when an article has to be published at halftime of a game that answers questions about record-breaking scoring days and that day is happening against your team… it’s not good!<\/p>\n

Las Vegas still has enough talent to compete for a WNBA title \u2014 and maybe in a month and a half we forget that we ever panicked about the state of this team. But for that to happen… they should stop getting down by 34 at halftime. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you’re currently watching the WNBA Saturday Showcase between the Minnesota Lynx and the Las Vegas Aces, you’re…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":113903,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[62,67,132,68,232],"class_list":{"0":"post-113902","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-united-states","10":"tag-unitedstates","11":"tag-us","12":"tag-wnba"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114961164825325297","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113902","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=113902"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113902\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/113903"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=113902"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=113902"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=113902"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
