What happened: Canada has recorded at least seven assists and two steals in every game of the run. She is averaging 11.7 points, 7.7 assists and 2.2 steals in 31.5 minutes through 26 games.
Why it matters: The record pairs sustained playmaking with defensive disruption, making it more than an assist-only benchmark. That combination measures impact at both ends without relying on scoring.
By the numbers: The eight-game thresholds guarantee at least 56 assists and 16 steals over the run.
What to watch: Canada can extend the record to nine games in her next appearance.
