Breeze BC’s Paige Bueckers drops Unrivaled career-high 37 points in win

The GIST: Fire ’fits, helpful hands, and one certified walking bucket? Yep, Unrivaled had it all over the weekend. Here are the headlines emerging from the innovative 3v3 league’s second weekend of action.

🌬️ Breeze BC superstar Paige Bueckers is that girl: Now a cool $50K richer, Bueckers’ perfect free throw percentage isn’t the only part of her game turning heads: The rookie dropped 37 points and missed just five shots in Breeze’s convincing 83–64 Monday win over Mist BC. Young and turnt — and efficient.

🦉 Lunar Owls secure first win of the season: Marina Mabrey and Aaliyah Edwards have been cooking, but finally had reason to say “hootie hoo” with Monday’s 68–57 W over Vinyl BC. Mabrey’s 31 points, which included a game-winning three-pointer, led the charge, while Edwards was the perfect complement with a mind-boggling 18 rebounds.

• This weekend also marked the return of veteran playmaker Skylar Diggins, who missed the Owls’ first three games with a lower body injury. Though her playing time was limited across two games, Diggins contributed 16 total points in just 22 minutes of work. On the way up.

👏 Parity reigns supreme: All eight squads have notched at least one win and one loss after playing five (of their 14) regular-season games. In fact, four teams sport identical 3-2 records, setting the stage for an intriguing battle for playoff positioning in the expanded six-team field.

• For example, the bottom-dwelling Owls and Hive have one win apiece, but now Diggins is back in the mix for the Owls, and the Hive are building chemistry after knocking off the defending champ Rose 78–75 on Friday. The games have only just begun.
