Thomas led her team, the Phoenix Mercury, to a resounding victory over the Indiana Fever, with a final score of 95-60, thus marking their third consecutive win.\n\nThomas became the first player in WNBA history to achieve three consecutive triple-doubles. Her performance in the game included 18 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists, solidifying her name in the league&#8217;s record books.\n\nThe 19th triple-double of her career, far surpassing any other player in the WNBA, was secured with a crucial assist to DeWanna Bonner, who made a three-pointer from the corner. In her last three games, Thomas has accumulated impressive stats: 41 points, 33 rebounds, and 32 assists.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>It&#8217;s a great honor. Much credit to my teammates. They helped me achieve this tonight. But to be the first, not many people can say that about anything.<\/p><cite>Alyssa Thomas<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nDeWanna Bonner also shone in the match, scoring 23 points, her season best. Satou Sabally contributed 15 points and 8 rebounds, while Kahleah Copper added 11 points to the Phoenix Mercury&#8217;s score.\n\nThe 35-point victory represents the third-largest in franchise history. With a 19-11 record, the team equals its total wins from last season.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Supporting each other. We&#8217;ve had a lot of adversity this season, injuries and things of that nature. I think we&#8217;re starting to hit our stride.<\/p><cite>Alyssa Thomas<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nFrom the Indiana Fever, Sophie Cunningham stood out with 18 points, including 5 three-pointers from 8 attempts. Kelsey Mitchell contributed 12 points to the team.\n\nCaitlin Clark missed her ninth consecutive game due to a groin injury.\n\nThe game saw the Phoenix cut their lead to 53-44 at the start of the third quarter, but responded with a 14-0 run, capped by a three-pointer from Sami Whitcomb, extending the lead to 23 points.\n\nIndiana struggled to score in the third quarter, only adding 11 points in that period.\n\nThe regular season series is tied 1-1, with the next game scheduled for September 2 in Phoenix.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alyssa Thomas Makes WNBA History with Consecutive Triple-Doubles In a historic night for women&#8217;s basketball, standout player Alyssa Thomas achieved an unprecedented feat in the WNBA.
