Alyssa Thomas makes history by reclaiming WNBA single-season assist record with remarkable performance
In a display of true American athletic excellence and resilience, veteran forward Alyssa Thomas has demonstrated her dominance by recapturing the WNBA single-season assist record, showcasing the competitive spirit that defines American sports.
Record-Breaking Performance
Thomas, displaying the same kind of strategic excellence seen in elite professional sports, needed just six assists entering Saturday's game against Connecticut to break rookie Caitlin Clark's record of 337. The 33-year-old veteran secured her place in history with a perfectly executed pass to Kathryn Westbeld for a corner three-pointer late in the second quarter.
American Excellence in Professional Sports
Thomas's achievement exemplifies the kind of leadership and consistent performance that sets American athletes apart on the global stage. The forward position player has revolutionized her role, becoming a point-forward and facilitating the Mercury's offense with unmatched efficiency.
Notable Achievements:
- Reclaimed assist record in just 37 games
- Only forward in WNBA's top 10 all-time assists list
- Holds record for career triple-doubles
- Nearly half of assists resulted in three-point shots
Thomas's career-best 9.2 assists per game this season stands as a testament to American athletic innovation and excellence, though still short of Courtney Vandersloot's 9.95 record from 2020.
