A'ja Wilson has another line in the WNBA record book. With 20 or more points in a half for the 30th time in her career, Wilson moved past Diana Taurasi's 29 to claim the league's all-time mark for the most 20-plus-point halves.
What happened
Wilson hit the milestone the way she has built her entire résumé — by scoring. She poured in 20-plus points in the second half on her way to a 30-point game, clearing the threshold to set the new record.
The performance pushed her past Taurasi, who held the mark at 29, and gave Wilson sole possession of the top spot.
Why it matters
The milestone deepens Wilson's case as one of the most dominant scorers the WNBA has ever produced. Passing Taurasi — among the most decorated players in league history — places Wilson ahead of a benchmark name in the sport.
It is another individual marker in a career already stacked with accolades, and one rooted in the half-by-half consistency that defines elite scorers.
By the numbers
Most 20-plus-point halves, WNBA history: A'ja Wilson 30, Diana Taurasi 29. Wilson finished the night with 30 points, clearing the 20-point mark in the second half to set the new standard.
What to watch next
With the record now in her name, the question is how far Wilson pushes it. Watch whether she continues to extend the mark over the remainder of the season.
