Nine Threes From Marina Mabrey, and Her Coach Said She Looked Like Diana Taurasi

Alright, Seattle, listen up, because you guys are not going to believe what went down last night! Marina Mabrey, playing for the Toronto Tempo, just absolutely went OFF. We're talking a career-best 37 points, with a ridiculous 21 of those coming in the fourth quarter. But that's not even the wildest part. She dropped a mind-blowing nine three-pointers in the game, tying the WNBA single-game record. And her post-game reaction? Peak competitor, telling reporters, “I can’t say what I wanna say. Dubs, dubs. I’ll just say that.” What a legend.

Mabrey Takes Over When It Matters Most

The Tempo needed every single one of those points, battling the Connecticut Sun in a gritty 101-95 victory. The win was a gutsy one, especially with their leading scorer, Brittney Sykes, sidelined with an injury. That's when Mabrey stepped up, taking over the scoring responsibility and showing everyone why she's a force. Her shooting was absolutely lights out, hitting an elite 75% from beyond the arc.

While Mabrey kept her on-court interview short and sweet, her coach, Sandy Brondello, couldn't stop raving about her veteran guard. Brondello compared Mabrey to a league legend, saying, “Looked like I was watching Diana Taurasi out there because I’ve seen her get in the fire and just how effortless it is, and just how fast she can shoot, the confidence she has. We’re lucky to have her.” Wow. A comparison to Taurasi? That's the ultimate compliment in this league, and it perfectly encapsulates the fire Mabrey plays with. She’s famous for those offensive explosions, but also for her competitive nature. She even said on the ‘Hoop There It Is’ podcast, “Basketball court is where I grew up expressing myself, being a player, being a competitor. And I think also the geographic where I grew up, how they teach us to play its like ‘live or die out there’.” You can practically feel her intensity through the screen. If you want to see more of that competitive spirit, ESPN is dropping a four-part documentary on the Toronto Tempo team. After a record-tying night like this from Mabrey, that documentary is going to be absolutely essential viewing. You just know there's more of that "live or die" mentality coming our way.
