Breanna Stewart made WNBA history on Tuesday night.
Stewart broke Phoenix Mercury star Diana Taurasi’s previous record of 861 points, which she scored in the 2006 season in just 34 games. Tuesday night’s game was Stewart’s 38th this season. The WNBA expanded the season to 40 games this year, which is four more than it had last year.
Stewart entered Tuesday’s game averaging a career-high 22.8 points, 9.4 rebounds and 3.9 assists this season, her first with the Liberty after spending her first six seasons in the league with the Seattle Storm. The Liberty held on in the final seconds to sneak out the one-point win on Tuesday. After going back and forth for much of the contest, Stewart was fouled with about 42 seconds left in the game. She put them back on top with her first free throw, and then got the rebound after missing the second to keep the possession alive. Stewart grabbed one final rebound on the other end to secure the win.
