Phantom BC secured their first win of the 2026 Unrivaled season, defeating the Lunar Owls BC 94-60 at the Sephora Arena in Miami, Florida. Kelsey Plum, the LA Sparks star, led the team to victory with an impressive performance, scoring 38 points, grabbing eight rebounds, and providing 11 assists on 16-for-22 shooting.
In a post-game interview, Plum was asked about playing alongside Aliyah Boston, to which she jokingly referenced moving screens, a topic she has frequently complained about. Boston responded with a smile, correcting Plum by stating it was not about moving screens. This exchange showcased Plum’s tendency to make light-hearted jokes, which sometimes makes others uncomfortable, as seen in her previous comments about Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark.
The Phantom BC’s victory was a team effort, with Aliyah Boston contributing 21 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, two steals, and three blocks. Natasha Cloud and Kiki Iriafen added 17 and 15 points, respectively. The Lunar Owls’ Marina Mabrey put up a strong performance, scoring 32 points and recording seven assists. The win improved Phantom BC’s record to 1-1, while the Lunar Owls remain winless after two games.
Kelsey Plum, one of the biggest stars in the Unrivaled league this season, is playing in her first season after missing the inaugural campaign due to personal reasons. Her participation is significant, given the absence of top players like Napheesa Collier, Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark, and A’ja Wilson. The Phantom BC’s next game is scheduled for Monday against the undefeated Mist BC.
The Unrivaled league continues to attract attention, with Breanna Stewart and Paige Bueckers being the main attractions. Kelsey Plum’s involvement has added to the league’s excitement, and her performance will be closely watched as the season progresses. With the Phantom BC looking to build on their first win, their upcoming game against the Mist BC will be a crucial test of their skills and teamwork.
