Some nights belong entirely to one player. Friday was Marina Mabrey‘s night. The Toronto Tempo guard delivered one of the most breathtaking individual performances in WNBA history, pouring in 53 points to lead her team to a dominant 125-97 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks.
The 29-year-old former Notre Dame star was virtually unstoppable from start to finish. Mabrey shot an efficient 17-of-28 from the field, and her shooting from beyond the arc was nothing short of extraordinary. She connected on 9-of-18 from 3-point range, tying the WNBA single-game record for 3-points made — a record that now stands alongside her scoring milestone.
A Historic Night That Rewrote the Record Books
By reaching 53 points, Mabrey tied the WNBA’s all-time single-game scoring record, cementing her place among the greatest individual performances in women’s basketball history. The magnitude of the feat becomes even clearer when looking at the Tempo’s own record books. Mabrey didn’t just break the Toronto franchise record — she shattered it. The previous high of 38 points, set twice by Brittney Sykes, was left far behind.

The final scoreline, 125-97, reflected just how completely the Tempo controlled the game. Mabrey’s explosion powered an offense that overwhelmed the Sparks from tip-off, turning what could have been a routine regular-season matchup into a landmark moment for the franchise and for the league as a whole.

For a player who built her reputation as a sharp shooter and dynamic scorer during her college days at Notre Dame, this performance felt like the ultimate statement. Mabrey has always had the tools to take over a game, but 53 points — with nine 3-points — is a level that very few players in WNBA history have ever reached, let alone matched.
This is the kind of night that gets remembered. The kind that younger players will look back on as the moment they fell in love with the game. Marina Mabrey didn’t just have a great game — she made history.
