When the Seattle Storm faced off against the Connecticut Sun, the crowd at Mohegan Sun Arena expected a contest. However, what they witnessed instead was a lopsided dominance. And it was led, orchestrated, and punctuated by Skylar Diggins. Her impressive performance and precision guided the Storm to a decisive 101–85 victory. And while the scoreboard had a story to narrate, Diggins had another, more enduring tale to tell.
Now in her twelfth WNBA season, Diggins entered the matchup with history quietly within reach. Needing only three assists to enter elite territory, she wasted little time. As the game began, Diggins looked in her usual best self. Before halftime, the 34-year-old had recorded nine assists. And her efforts were rewarded aptly.

Her influence, however, did not end with that historic tally. By the final whistle, Diggins had also secured her first regular-season triple-double. She added 11 points and 12 rebounds along with her 11 assists. Seattle capitalized fully on the momentum she created, opening up an 11-point advantage by halftime. From thereon, it was all Seattle.
