UConn legend Diana Taurasi makes WNBA history; Mosqueda-Lewis injured

Diana Taurasi, a member of three national championship teams at UConn, became the WNBA's all-time leader in 3-pointers made during the regular season in the first quarter of tonight's Phoenix/Chicago game.

Taurasi came into the game tied with Katie Smith for the record with 906 3-pointers. She missed her first attempt but connected on her record 907th 3-pointer.

Taurasi is playing in her 372nd career game while Smith had 906 3-pointers in 482 regular-season games. However, Smith needed fewer attempts (2466) than Taurasi (2480) to reach 906. Taurasi is also the WNBA all-time leader with 128 career 3-pointers in the playoffs.
