In the Sparks’ 101-86 win over the Connecticut Sun, Plum posted 30 points, six assists, two rebounds and two steals. It was a complete performance that helped push the Sparks to their fourth straight win.
What really turned heads was her efficiency. Plum logged just under 30 minutes on the floor, finishing at 29 minutes. That made her the first guard in Sparks history to score 30 or more points in fewer than 30 minutes of game time.
