The 20th WNBA All-Star Game tips off in less than 6 hours. In its long history of over a decade, this event has produced countless unforgettable moments, but some games have stood out for their sheer scoring spectacle. As the enthusiasts gather to celebrate another edition of this exciting event, let’s take a trip down memory lane to discover which WNBA All-Star Game holds the record for the most points scored. Get ready for a deep dive into the game that had the scoreboard lighting up like never before.

Forget the time machine as we just need to rewind to last year’s WNBA All-Star Game in Las Vegas for the record-breaker. The 2023 clash saw the most points ever poured in during an All-Star matchup as Team Stewart cruised to a 143-127 victory shattering multiple records in the process. Let’s take a closer look at this game.

Team Stewart’s redemption: A record-breaking showdown

The 2023 WNBA All-Star game carried extra weight as it was Team Stewart seeking redemption after a tough loss in 2022. And they just did that in a style and got their sweet revenge on Team Wilson in the 2023 WNBA All-Star Game. 

Team Stewart turned the tables on their rivals, transforming 2023’s matchup into an unforgettable display of basketball brilliance and unwavering resolve. The game was a high-scoring extravaganza, setting a new benchmark for total points in a WNBA game with a combined 270 points. 

The winners outclassed their opponents as their commander-in-chief Breanna Stewart, the star from the New York Liberty, dished out nine assists and even scored nine points herself to lead her team to victory. Meanwhile, it was a ‘Never Give Up’ attitude from A’ja Wilson, the captain of Team Wilson and a Las Vegas Aces legend, who put up a valiant fight with a whopping 20 points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Team Stewart’s firepower. 

It was a remarkable game that didn’t just break a single record but set multiple new high standards. Let’s explore some other milestones created during last year’s game.

Loyd soared, Griner dominated: 2023 All-Star highlights

Seattle Storm’s Jewell Loyd absolutely went off as she scored a whopping 31 points, setting a brand record for the most points ever scored in a single WNBA All-Star Game. She shattered the previous record of 30 points held by both Kelsey Plum and Maya Moore. Kelsey Plum aimed for a second straight WNBA All-Star MVP trophy, scoring 30 points again after her brilliant 2022 performance but no wonder it was Loyd who was crowned the game’s MVP after that unprecedented performance.

Last year’s All-Star Game was all about comebacks and records! It was especially sweet for Brittney Griner, who dominated in her emotional return after a tough year in Russian detainment. In her ninth All-Star appearance, she quickly reminded everyone why she’s considered a WNBA legend.

Griner kicked things off by scoring the first six points of the game and even threw down two thunderous dunks – that was dunk number 26 for her WNBA career which extended her all-time record! She finished the night with a stellar 18 points and 13 rebounds.

This year’s WNBA All-Star Game is primed to raise the stakes even higher, following the record-breaking events of the previous edition. Fans can look forward to an exciting showdown as Team USA takes on Team WNBA before heading to Paris for the 2024 Olympics.
