Lisa Leslie surpassed 5,000 WNBA points, broke her career high scoring record for a game and her team won their eighth straight game in a 105-80 rout over the Silver Stars.

Going into the game, Leslie needed only one more point to reach 5,000 and did that in 53 seconds. By scoring 41, she set a new career high for the second time this season. Her play in the last week made her the POW in the league for the third time this season. "If she's not the greatest player to ever play, I don't know who is," Sparks Coach Joe Bryant said of Leslie.

And at nearly 34, Leslie does not appear to be slowing down. "She was vintage Lisa Leslie in every way," San Antonio coach Dan Hughes said. "No matter what we tried with her, it was difficult. She is having a good year, the best I've ever seen from her."

The Sparks shot an impressive 60% from the floor and three point range.
