The player finished the game with 32 points, achieved with 13 of 25 shots, and 20 rebounds, leading her team to a 94-86 victory over the Connecticut Sun last Sunday.\n\nThis achievement represents Wilson&#8217;s fourteenth double-double of the season and the sixth in her career with at least 30 points and 15 rebounds, tying Tina Charles at the top of WNBA history.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>It&#8217;s something huge. I didn&#8217;t know, with so many great players in this league, that this was happening for the first time. It&#8217;s a blessing. I love what I do. I love this so much, so whenever I can go out and play basketball the way I like, and the team, and we all get involved, I&#8217;m happy with that.<\/p><cite>A&#8217;ja Wilson<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nHer teammate, Jackie Young, also expressed her amazement at Wilson&#8217;s performance.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>She shows up every night and I think that&#8217;s why she&#8217;s so good at what she does. She&#8217;s a very dedicated worker, so it&#8217;s great to see her hard work pay off. At the same time, she&#8217;s sent double and triple teams, and she has to deal with that and play off of that. She&#8217;s still able to put up incredible numbers every night.<\/p><cite>Jackie Young, A&#8217;ja Wilson&#8217;s teammate<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nWilson, who this season became the fastest and second youngest player to reach 5,000 career points, leads the league in 30-point games since her arrival in 2018.\n\nWilson, who turned 29 on Friday, was proud to leave her mark on the league&#8217;s history.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>It&#8217;s great to have my name in the record books when it comes to that.
