One of the new faces in Season 2 of Unrivaled made a major impact on Saturday night.
Kelsey Plum, who sat out last season to work on her overall health, scored 38 points in the 3-on-3 league to power Phantom BC past Lunar Owls BC, 94-60, in Miami. Plum added 11 assists, eight rebounds and two steals.
"It was really fun tonight, I thought it was (a) great team win," Plum said postgame. "We came out with tremendous energy."
Aliayh Boston had a double-double for the Phantom with 21 points and 10 rebounds. Natasha Cloud added 17 points and Kiki Iriafen 15 as the Phantom improved to 1-1.
Marina Mabrey scored 32 for the Lunar Owls, who were without Skylar Diggins for the second straight game. Napheesa Collier is out for the season for the 0-2 Owls.
Breanna Stewart hit a pair of free throws to close out the victory for the Mist. She had a double-double with 22 points and 10 rebounds. The Mist trailed by as many as seven but scrapped back in the physical matchup.
"For anyone who says we don't come to Miami to compete, we are f------ competing, excuse me, but," Stewart said with a smile before a long pause postgame. "Obviously credit to the Laces, it's a tough matchup, we have a ton of respect both sides. And we didn't want the game to be over until it was over and it's over.
"What we really enjoy with this team is we go one through six. Everybody comes in and makes an impact."
That was certainly the case on Saturday with 28 points from Allisha Gray and 11 from Veronica Burton for the Mist, who are 2-0 after winning only five games last season.
Brittney Sykes scored 29 for the Laces (1-1).
