Lunar Owls Make History! Record-Breaking Win Stuns Phantom in High-Octane Showdown

Unrivaled basketball

The Lunar Owls extended their perfect record to 7-0 with a commanding 94-76 victory over Phantom, setting a new Unrivaled League single-game scoring record in what was a thrilling, high-octane showcase of women's basketball. With both teams pushing the pace and stars delivering standout performances, the game was a testament to the league’s growing excitement and elite-level play.

The Owls’ explosive offense was on full display, with Allisha Gray leading the way with 23 points, shooting 5-of-8 from three-point range. Napheesa Collier added 20 points and six rebounds, while Skylar Diggins-Smith orchestrated the attack, finishing with 18 points and seven assists. Courtney Williams came off the bench and made her impact felt, dropping 19 points to help keep the Owls in control. Their ball movement, perimeter shooting, and relentless pace made for an electrifying performance that left fans on the edge of their seats.

Phantom, despite the loss, kept the game entertaining with a dominant showing from Brittney Griner, who finished with 23 points on 11-of-14 shooting. She was a force in the paint, forcing the Owls into foul trouble. Satou Sabally contributed 17 points and seven rebounds, while Sabrina Ionescu chipped in 13 points, though she struggled from deep, hitting just 1-of-7 from three.

Ionescu, known for her elite three-point shooting, would likely be frustrated with her performance from beyond the arc. Her inability to connect from deep prevented Phantom from capitalizing on key moments, and with the Owls’ offense firing on all cylinders, Phantom needed every bit of Ionescu’s usual shooting prowess to keep pace. Her lone three-pointer came late in the game when the outcome was nearly decided, making it an uncharacteristic night for one of the league’s premier shooters.

While the Owls pulled away late, the game was a fast-paced, high-scoring affair that showcased the incredible skill and athleticism on both sides. From Gray’s lights-out shooting to Griner’s dominance inside, the matchup had everything a basketball fan could ask for—big-time performances, lead changes, and highlight-reel plays.

With the victory, the Owls not only shattered the league scoring record but also cemented themselves as the team to beat in the Unrivaled League. They’ll look to keep their streak alive against Mist on February 8, while Phantom, now 2-5, will try to regroup. If this game proved anything, it’s that women’s basketball is thriving, and the Unrivaled League is delivering must-watch action.
