Stewart Powers Mist to Unrivaled Championship

Breanna Stewart scored 32 points as the Mist defeated Kelsey Plum and the top-seeded Phantom 80-74 to win the Unrivaled championship and claim a $600,000 prize pool.

The Mist, who had lost to the Phantom twice in the regular season, overcame Plum's first-quarter explosion where she scored 18 points. Stewart took control in the second half, shooting 11-of-15 from the field to lead her team to victory.

Each Mist player will receive $100,000 for the championship win, double the amount from last season. Plum's 40 points set a playoff record for Unrivaled, but Stewart's performance proved decisive as the Mist secured the title in the league's second season.
