Record

WNBA teams are scoring at near record levels thanks in strong part to a quicker pace and some impressive individual efforts. Teams are averaging 82.6 points a game this season, just a shade under the full-season record set in 2018 of 82.8. During the bubble season in 2020 each team played just 22 games but the league scoring average was 83 points. Those totals are up about seven points a game from a decade ago with pace of play being a big reason for the increase. There's already been 10 40-point games this season by individual players. There were only 15 in the history of the league coming into 2023.
