Paige Bueckers continued her string of dominant performances in Unrivaled regular season play on Friday with 28 points, but her Breeze squad fell 70-68 to Hive in Miami.<\/p>\n

Sonia Citron hit a game-winning layup to give Hive, now 3-7 in league play, the comeback victory. Breeze dropped to 5-5.<\/p>\n

Hive overcame a 15-point third-quarter deficit after trailing 46-31 with 6:42 left in the third quarter. The squad immediately stormed back with a 14-0 run, with Citron scoring nine of her 17 points during the stretch.<\/p>\n

The two teams traded punches from there. Breeze went up 57-51 late in the third, but Hive responded with a 9-2 run to take a 60-59 edge.<\/p>\n

From there, it was a one-possession game for the rest of the evening. <\/p>\n

The two teams entered the fourth quarter with an Elam Ending<\/a> target score of 70. Cameron Brink made a layup down the stretch to tie the game at 68, but on Hive’s next possession, Citron responded with one of her own for the win.<\/p>\n

Kelsey Mitchell led Hive with 22 points. Monique Billings posted a 15-point, 17-rebound double-double with two blocks and two steals.<\/p>\n

Bueckers’ 28 points on 13-of-23 shooting led all scorers, and she added seven rebounds and five assists. Teammate Rickea Jackson added 15 points.<\/p>\n

Bueckers is now averaging 25.0 points, 6.7 assists and 6.1 rebounds per game over 10 contests. She and the Breeze will look to move over .500 when they play the 2-7 Lunar Owls on Tuesday, Feb. 17. The Hive will play the first-place Laces (7-2) on that same day as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paige Bueckers continued her string of dominant performances in Unrivaled regular season play on Friday with 28 points,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":453989,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[99,434],"class_list":["post-453988","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-sports","tag-wnba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453988","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=453988"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453988\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/453989"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=453988"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=453988"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=453988"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
