Jewell Loyd, the Seattle Storm’s star guard, set a new season points record despite her team’s loss to the Chicago Sky on Sunday. Loyd scored a total of 599 points this season, surpassing the previous record of 595 set by Lauren Jackson in 2003.
Loyd’s performance this season was nothing short of remarkable. She averaged a career-high 20.5 points per game and was a major factor in the Storm’s success. She also shot a career-high 46.3 percent from the field and 38.2 percent from three-point range.
Despite her individual success, Loyd was unable to lead the Storm to victory against the Sky. She scored a team-high 22 points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Sky’s balanced attack. The Sky had five players score in double figures, led by Allie Quigley’s 24 points.
Despite the loss, Loyd’s record-breaking performance this season will be remembered for years to come. She has cemented her place as one of the best players in the WNBA and has set a new standard for future players to strive for. Her hard work and dedication have paid off and she can be proud of her accomplishments.
