WNBA scoring record: 53-point game for Dallas’ Elizabeth Cambage

DALLAS — Elizabeth Cambage scored 53 points to set a WNBA record Tuesday, leading the Dallas Wings to a 104-87 victory over the New York Liberty. The 6-foot-8 Australian reached 50 points on a three-point play with 2:19 remaining and broke Riquna Williams' WNBA record of 51 points, set Sept. 8, 2013, on an open three-pointer from the top of the key. "It's pretty big," Cambage said. "I've had big numbers in China, I've had big numbers in Australia, and I've heard a lot of people say I could never have big numbers here in the WNBA. So I guess this game is for y'all." Cambage was 17-for-22 from the field with 10 rebounds and five blocks for her ninth double-double of the season.
