The Connecticut Sun defeated the Los Angeles Sparks, 90-76, on Tuesday. Sun forward Alyssa Thomas tallied her sixth triple-double of the season with 27 points, 12 rebounds, 14 assists, six steals and one block.
With those 14 assists, Thomas hit 304 assists this season, which marks a new WNBA single-season assist record. She also notched her 27th double-double, which is a single-season record. Additionally, her triple-double also set a record for a season.
Not only did she set records, but she also became the first player in WNBA history to tally at least 20 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and five steals in a single game. If Thomas wasn’t in the MVP conversation before, she is definitely making waves and displaying why she should be a strong contender for the title this season.
