Stewart Powers Mist to Unrivaled Championship

Breanna Stewart powered the Mist to an 80-74 victory over Kelsey Plum's top-seeded Phantom in the Unrivaled championship game.

The Mist secured their first championship in the league's second season, overcoming a 24-point first quarter from Plum who finished with 40 points and shot 6-of-7 from 3-point range. Stewart's 32 points, including a 10-point run in the third quarter, proved decisive as the Mist claimed the $600,000 prize pool.

Each Mist player earned $100,000 for the championship victory, double the amount awarded to last season's champions. The win came after the Mist lost to the Phantom twice during the regular season.
