Hillmon's Perfect Game: A WNBA Milestone?

Naz Hillmon achieved a career-high 24 points for the Atlanta Dream in a recent win, making every shot from the field and the free-throw line. This remarkable performance draws a comparison to Kamilla Cardoso, who previously set a WNBA record with 13 field goals without a miss, though she missed free throws. A potential showdown between Hillmon and Cardoso is scheduled for Sunday in Atlanta, with both teams seeking their third consecutive victory.

Other WNBA players are also in contention for perfect shooting displays. Nneka Ogwumike of the Los Angeles Sparks had a flawless 12-for-12 field goal and 7-for-7 free throw performance a decade ago. The Dallas Wings also boast several players with efficient shooting histories, including Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd, with some teammates like Awak Kueir and Maddy Siegrist having previously achieved perfect shooting games from the field.

In another matchup, the Connecticut Sun face the Phoenix Mercury. Brittney Griner of the Mercury has had perfect shooting games in her career, while teammate Olivia Nelson-Ododa has achieved perfect field goal shooting multiple times this season. Natasha Mack of the Mercury also recorded a perfect game from the field and line earlier this season. Both teams are looking to extend winning streaks and improve their standings.
