What happened
Marina Mabrey caught fire from beyond the arc, knocking down nine three-pointers to tie the WNBA single-game record for threes made in a game. The barrage powered her to 37 points, with the bulk of her output coming from deep. It was a night defined almost entirely by her range.
Why it matters
The nine made threes match a mark that Chelsea Gray tied just over a week earlier, a sign of how quickly the league's perimeter ceiling keeps getting tested. When the same record falls within days, it stops looking like an outlier and starts looking like a trend. Mabrey's 37-point night also places her among the season's standout individual scoring performances.
By the numbers
The WNBA single-game record for three-pointers made stands at nine. Mabrey's line: 37 points on nine made threes. The same nine-three record was tied on June 12, 2026, illustrating how frequently it has been challenged this season.
What to watch next
The question now is whether Mabrey can carry this shooting form forward over the coming stretch. The larger one is whether anyone finally pushes past the nine-three ceiling that has now been matched twice in short order.
