Elena Delle Donne made 19 consecutive free throws during her 45-point WNBA game in 2015.
She scored a career-high 45 points in an overtime victory over the Atlanta Dream. Her perfect run of 19 consecutive free throws was a WNBA record at the time and highlighted both her scoring ability and her efficiency at the line.
The game was part of Delle Donne’s outstanding 2015 season, which ended with her winning the WNBA Most Valuable Player award. She led the league in scoring and played a central role for the Chicago Sky.
The 45-point performance and the free-throw record are related but separate achievements. The 45 points describe her total scoring output in the game, while 19 counts only the consecutive successful free throws made during that performance.
