Stewart Powers Mist Past Plum to Claim Unrivaled Title

Breanna Stewart scored 32 points as the Mist defeated Kelsey Plum and the top-seeded Phantom 80-74 to win the Unrivaled championship on Wednesday night.

The Mist, who lost to the Phantom twice during the regular season, overcame an early 24-point first quarter from Plum to claim the title and a $600,000 prize pool. Each Mist player will receive $100,000, double what Rose BC earned for winning last season.

Plum scored a playoff-record 40 points for the Phantom, going 6-of-7 from three-point range. The Mist used a 10-0 run in the third quarter highlighted by Stewart's hook shot, three-pointer, and and-one play to take control of the game.
