Toronto Tempo guard Marina Mabrey tied the WNBA single-game scoring record with 53 points on Thursday night [1].
The performance marks a historic milestone for both Mabrey and the Toronto franchise, elevating the team's offensive profile on a global stage. By matching the all-time scoring peak, Mabrey joins an elite group of players to have reached this numerical threshold in a single outing.
Mabrey achieved the feat during a game against the Los Angeles Sparks in Toronto, Canada [2]. In addition to the scoring record, she tied the WNBA single-game record for three-pointers by making nine shots from beyond the arc [2].
Her offensive surge propelled the Toronto Tempo to a victory. The Tempo finished the game with 125 points [1]. While reports on the final score vary slightly, the Toronto Tempo defeated the Los Angeles Sparks by a score of 125-97 [1], though some reports list the Sparks' total at 94 [4].
The win underscores the Toronto Tempo's ability to dominate opponents through high-volume perimeter shooting. Mabrey's 53 points [1] accounted for nearly half of her team's total output, illustrating her role as the primary engine of the Tempo offense during the contest.
This record-tying effort occurred on June 25, 2026 [3]. The performance was highlighted in a video by Bleacher Report, capturing the moment Mabrey reached the historic mark.
