The second weekend of Unrivaled action has officially begun, and the two games demonstrated very different scenarios for clubs.
In the first game, we had two winless clubs facing each other in Phantom and Mist. Someone had to win, and that was Phantom, who came out victorious, 74-69. Laces, on the other hand, remained unbeaten in Unrivaled play. They defeated Vinyl 83-79, surviving a fourth-quarter push to close out the game on a Kayla McBride basket.
Phantom puts a win on the board
Phantom had to play without Sabrina Ionescu, who was out for personal reasons, and Marina Mabrey, who is dealing with a right calf issue. However, they managed to earn the win thanks to Sabally and Brittney Griner, who both scored 29 points. Natasha Cloud handled the distribution with nine dimes; she also grabbed seven rebounds.
In the defeat, Breanna Stewart did everything she could to come away victorious. She had a double-double with 27 points and 10 rebounds. Rickea Jackson’s offense was also elite in this contest, scoring 24 points. Mist were also without two key players, with Jewell Loyd and DiJonai Carrington both sidelined with injuries. The team added NaLyssa Smith as a relief player; she provided five minutes for Mist in her Unrivaled debut.
Things started off well for the…
