The Unrivaled season 2 is already in an exciting phase, with every result impacting the league standings. With a strong start, the defending champions, Rose BC and newcomers, Breeze BC were top candidates, but the new Unrivaled power ranking based on performances now shows them struggling to make the playoffs. Paige Bueckers had a chance to change that narrative with a win over their recent opponent, Hive BC.
Kelsey Mitchell and Co. are even lower in the power ranking after just two wins in nine games. But they delivered a big blow to the Breeze’s playoff dream with a stunning comeback win.
Paige Bueckers’ Solo Efforts Couldn’t Win Game For Breeze BC
Een though Noelle Quinn’s team struggled to bank on its strong start, one player who remained consistent for the side was the Wings’ rookie. She once again delivered more than her season average, scoring 28 points with seven rebounds and five assists.
Sadly, that wasn’t enough as Kelsey Mitchell matched PB’s efforts, scoring 22 points and six rebounds. With just one point separating the teams at the end of the third quarter, performance in the final phase was much important. Mitchell scored six points in the fourth quarter, while the 2025 rookie ended with just two points and two assists.
Sonia called game for Hive👏🏼‼️

Aliyah Boston sees Kelsey Mitchell as the best one-on-one player in the league, while PB could be a strong challenge for the Fever guard. She is constantly improving on her offensive skillsets and already has a crafty handle with a 3-level shooting range.
Even though the player might not clinch Unrivaled trophy, the league MVP is still another possibility with her consistency already earning her a free-throw competition.
