Week 3 was a full sprint with momentum swings and benches changing games. Friday opened with Mist riding hot shooting and Allisha Gray’s 28 points in an 89-71 win over Rose. Later, Phantom handled Vinyl 78-69 behind their inside-out engine, with Aliyah Boston’s 21 and Kelsey Plum’s 18 points setting the tone.

Saturday brought a little bit of everything. Breeze edged the Lunar Owls 75-68 after pouring in 32 first-quarter points, with Paige Bueckers leading the way and Dominique Malonga flashing her upside early (12 points in the first four minutes) plus a dunk that was just the second in Unrivaled history. The first-place Laces followed with a 70-52 win over Hive complete with a Naz Hillmon double-double (16 points, 13 rebounds) and a first quarter that featured points from every Laces player who checked in.

Sunday stayed tight and physical. Mist held off Vinyl 76-71, getting another big scoring night from Allisha Gray and a strong bench stretch that kept them in control. Rose then snapped back with an 84-74 win over Phantom behind Chelsea Gray’s 34 points, a night that also pushed her past 500 career points as the first player in league history to hit the mark.

Monday closed the week with two gritty finishes. Hive earned a 74-71 win over the Lunar Owls behind a big lift from Natisha Hiedeman. Then the Laces finished it off with a 76-67 win over Breeze, led by Brittney Sykes’ 29 and a closing surge that was classic Laces: Alyssa Thomas controlling the paint late (17 points) and Hillmon posting her second straight double-double.

Who Called Game?

Week 3 had no shortage of late-game drama. Here's a look at who called game in Week 3.

Arike Ogunbowale (Mist)
Ogunbowale closed it with a fearless finish at the rim, delivering her first career game-winner and putting a stamp on a big Mist win.

Kelsey Mitchell (Hive)
Mitchell capped off a 17-point game with a layup for the win in a back and forth thriller against the Lunar Owls.

Kiki Iriafen (Phantom)
Iriafen called game with a jumper after Vinyl’s late push. She’d been in the flow all night, including seven second-quarter points to help Phantom weather Vinyl’s run and keep control heading into the second half.

Paige Bueckers (Breeze)
Bueckers stole the ball away from the Lunar Owls and secured the game-winner all in one play. She finished with 28 points, marking her third straight game scoring at least 20 points.

Naz Hillmon (Laces)
Hillmon finished through contact at the rim to end it, capping a career day with 16 points and 13 rebounds. She celebrated her first Unrivaled double-double and game-winner with her mom in the crowd on her birthday.

Breanna Stewart (Mist)
Stewie delivered the final word with a strong finish inside, stepping up after a late swing and converting when Mist needed one clean possession. As Allisha Gray said, “a healthy Stewie is very dangerous.”

Shakira Austin (Rose)
Austin called game with a floater in the paint, putting the finishing touch on an 84-74 Rose win over Phantom. She was efficient all night (12 points on 6-of-10 shooting with six rebounds and a steal), with the final bucket coming after Phantom trimmed the lead to five in the fourth quarter.

Alyssa Thomas (Laces)
Thomas did what she does best in winning time: imposed her will in the paint. In the closing stretch against Breeze, she scored eight of the Laces’ 11 fourth-quarter points, then punctuated the finish with the game-winning layup during a late 7-0 run.

Unrivaled Milestones

She hit the mark in a statement performance against Phantom, finishing with 34 points, seven rebounds and eight assists.

Allisha Gray Reaches 400 Career Points

Rhyne Howard Joins the 400 Club 
Also on Sunday, Rhyne Howard became the third player in league history to eclipse 400 career points, reaching the milestone during Vinyl’s matchup with Mist. Howard is one of the league’s most dangerous perimeter threats, ranking second the top in 3-pointers made per game (3.9).
