After the champions secured their win, there was one more game to end the night. Phantom BC faced Breeze BC, and the league’s new team came out victorious. Paige Bueckers played well in her debut, as she had 24 points. She also had six assists, five rebounds and two blocks.
The Unrivaled season is off to a good start, and while only Thomas was in action, the Mercury were still represented. She had a decent game, and she will have even better performances after this. Then, once Copper makes her debut, Rose BC will be in an even better position to repeat.
