Dream's Tina Charles passes Tina Thompson for 2nd on all-time WNBA scoring list

Atlanta Dream center Tina Charles moved into second place on the WNBA's all-time scoring list Wednesday, passing Hall of Famer Tina Thompson in the process.

Charles entered Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Mercury with 7,479 career points, trailing Thompson's career total (7,488) by nine points. She tied Thompson with a jumper from the wing in the third quarter for her ninth point of the night. She passed her with a 3-pointer in the fourth quarter for her 12th point of the game that gave the Dream a 51-48 lead.

Charles, 35, has a long way to go to reach the top. Diana Taurasi, who's still active and took the floor for the Mercury Wednesday night, is the league's all-time leading scorer. She entered Wednesday's game well ahead of Thompson and Charles with 10,497 career points.
