Without question, Athletes Unlimited Basketball is coming out hot as we saw points all over the place. Day Two gave fans a healthy mix of offensive and defensive performances as we saw some records fall. That being said, let us dive into Games Three and Four of Season Two.

In this case, Team Sims, led by Connecticut Sun guard Odyssey Sims, decided to light up the scoreboard in Texas. Sims’ squad shot a phenomenal 61% from the field and 56.7% from three-point range. In all, they scored an Athletes Unlimited Basketball record of 120 points, including 38 points in a quarter. Five players scored in double-digits, led by Indiana Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell with 28 points.
Going back to Team Sims’ effort from three-point land, their 15 made shots are a single-game record. Mitchell and Fever teammate Lexie Hull each drained six from beyond the arc in the win. Not to be outdone, Team Cole, led by guard Taj Cole, put up 95 points in the losing effort. Team Cole was led by Atlanta Dream guard Allisha Gray, who scored 23 points.

It’s important to note that both teams combined for 28 scored three-pointers.
