Los Angeles Sparks star guard Kelsey Plum entered Wednesday night's home contest against Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings tied with Kristi Toliver for the franchise's single-season made threes record, per a release.

Plum tied Toliver's record in Sunday's contest against Washington, pouring in 26 points, six assists and two triples.

With less than two minutes left in Wednesday's first half, she surpassed the mark — converting on a straightaway triple that propelled L.A. to a double-digit lead over Dallas at Crypto.com Arena.
