Kiki Iriafen Comes Back to Haunt New York

Talk about a hero's return! Kiki Iriafen, out three games with an ankle injury since June 8, decided Friday night was the perfect time to make a statement.

With the score tied at 83 and 27 seconds left, Sonia Citron found Iriafen under the basket for the go-ahead layup. Clutch! Breanna Stewart tried to answer for the Liberty with 14 seconds left, but her contested layup wouldn't fall. Iriafen then sealed the deal, hitting one of two free throws.

And then there was Toronto Tempo versus the Connecticut Sun. If you thought the first game was wild, buckle up. Marina Mabrey absolutely EXPLODED for a career-high 37 points, including a WNBA single-game record-tying NINE three-pointers. She was lights out, hitting 9 of 12 from deep, plus adding four rebounds and four assists. What makes it even crazier? Toronto was down by 16 points in the second half, trailing 50-37 at halftime. Mabrey, a force of nature, scored 21 of her 37 points in the fourth quarter, leading the Tempo to an unbelievable 64-47 second-half surge to win 101-97. Temi Fagbenle was also a beast, shooting 8 for 9 from the floor for 19 points and nine rebounds, with Maria Conde adding 19 points and six rebounds off the bench. This win snapped Toronto's three-game skid. The Sun, despite Kennedy Burke's 18 points off the bench, Leila Lacan's 16, Brittney Griner's 16, and Olivia Nelson-Ododa's 13, are now reeling, having lost seven in a row. You cannot make this stuff up! Man, what a night for women's hoops! The WNBA is serving up drama and record-breaking performances, proving that every game has something to watch for.
