Howard, Gray Power Vinyl and Mist to Wins as Lunar Owls Drop to 0-4

The outcomes underscored Vinyl's perimeter efficiency, with Lunar Owls still winless despite Skylar Diggins' return.

Overview

  • Vinyl beat Breeze 81-66 to reach 2-2, fueled by Rhyne Howard’s 30 points with Dearica Hamby scoring 21 and Brittney Griner adding 17 off the bench.
  • Breeze slipped to 2-2 as Paige Bueckers posted 25 points, seven assists and eight rebounds, but 12 turnovers undercut any comeback hopes.
  • Mist defeated Lunar Owls 79-65 behind Allisha Gray’s 30 points on 11-of-18 shooting with eight rebounds and four assists, while Breanna Stewart added 21 and eight boards.
  • Lunar Owls fell to 0-4 in Skylar Diggins’ season debut, leaning on Marina Mabrey’s 27 points and Aaliyah Edwards’ 22 but getting limited scoring support elsewhere.
  • Vinyl’s showing matched its top-tier offensive profile entering the weekend, tied for the league lead in efficiency and driven by elite three-point shooting from Howard.
