Paige Bueckers Drops 37 Points, Cashes $50K Free-Throw Challenge in Breeze Blowout
Paige Bueckers delivered a masterful performance in the Unrivaled 3x3 league on January 19, 2026, dropping a career-high 37 points to lead Breeze BC to an emphatic 83-64 victory over Mist BC.
The WNBA Rookie of the Year and Dallas Wings guard was unstoppable, shooting an efficient 14-of-19 from the field (74%) and 5-of-8 from three-point range. She added 8 rebounds, 5 assists, and a block, while also draining the game-winning shot to seal the win. Her explosion included a remarkable 18 points in one quarter, accounting for nearly half of Breeze's total output.
Bueckers' scoring outburst came in her rookie Unrivaled season, where she's averaging over 23 points per game through the early slate. The performance not only snapped a two-game losing streak for Breeze (improving them to 3-2) but also showcased her smooth mid-range game and sharpshooting in the fast-paced 3x3 format—against a Mist squad featuring Breanna Stewart.
