WNBA Sends Message to Veteran Guard's 34-Point Performance originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Connecticut Sun guard Marina Mabrey led the team to its second win of the 2025 WNBA season on Friday. The Sun had an 84-76 victory over the Atlanta Dream, snapping their four-game win streak. Out of everyone in the game, Mabrey stood out with her 34-point performance.

The Sun are coming off a 100-52 defeat against the defending champions, the New York Liberty, on Sunday. It was the second-largest win margin in WNBA history. Mabrey's performance was also highlighted during the game.

The veteran guard struggled to contribute to the Sun. Mabrey had eight points on 2-for-11 shooting from the field. Her disappointing performance was the lowest plus/minus in a single game.

Fortunately for the Sun, Mabrey has moved on from how she played against the Liberty. She led the team with 34 points, four rebounds and four assists on 59.1% shooting. It was the team's first win at the WNBA Commissioner's Cup and their first home victory.

Following the game, the league recognized her for logging her first 30-point game of the campaign.

"Marina Mabrey took control with a game-high 34 points " the WNBA posted on X. "She guided the @ConnecticutSun to their first home win and Commissioner's Cup victory, finishing with 34 PTS, 4 REB, and 4 AST. This notches her 1st 30-point performance of the szn!"

Before the Sun's game against the Dream, Mabrey was averaging 15 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists. Due to her offensive eruption against Atlanta, her numbers are expected to improve.

Connecticut will continue its season on Sunday, as it faces the Washington Mystics.
