Breanna Stewart scored 42 points in New York's 100-89 victory over the Indiana Fever on Sunday, becoming the first player in WNBA history with three 40-point games in a season. The record performance featured 30 points in the first 20 minutes — which is tied for the most points in a WNBA half.
The 28-year-old was expected to make an immediate impact on the New York Liberty when she joined the team during free agency, and she keeps delivering. Her record scoring was accompanied by six rebounds, six assists, three steals and three blocks.
