"Somebody will come along and break it eventually,'' Taurasi said after the game. "It is a nice round number.''

Taurasi entered the WNBA in 2004 and has played all 14 seasons with the Mercury, with whom she has three championships and was the 2009 MVP.

The eight-time All-Star and two-time Finals MVP became the WNBA's leading scorer in 2017, surpassing Tina Thompson's mark of 7,488 points.
