Paige Bueckers Makes WNBA History on Sunday

Going into Sunday's loss, Bueckers had recorded 180 points and 58 assists through her first 10 career games. With 2:42 remaining in overtime, Bueckers hit a layup off a NaLyssa Smith assist, marking her 20th point of the game and 100th of her young career.

In doing so, Bueckers now becomes the fastest player in WNBA history to record 200 or more points and 50 or more assists, doing so in just 11 games.

The previous record was shared by three players, including (Caitlin) Clark, Houston Comets legend Cynthia Cooper-Dyke, and former Charlotte Sting guard Andrea Stinson, each of whom reached the mark in 12 games.

Bueckers finished the game with 20 points on 7-of-17 shooting, nine rebounds and seven assists. The former UConn Huskies star also hit the game-tying 3-pointer with 11 seconds left to force overtime.
