The records keep tumbling for Australian superstar Liz Cambage in the WNBA.

The Opals linchpin had 35 points and 17 rebounds to break the WNBA's two-game scoring record, on her way to steering the Dallas Wings to a 90-81 win over the Washington Mystics on Thursday.

Coming off a historic 53-point performance on Tuesday, Cambage broke Minnesota star Maya Moore's record two-game total of 80 points set in 2014 by eight.

Cambage also became the first player with back-to-back 30-point, 10-rebound games since Moore in 2014.

Kayla Thornton added 15 points and Glory Johnson had 13 for Dallas (14-9).

Dallas had three players score in double digits in the first half.

Cambage had 17 points and nine rebounds, and Thornton and Johnson each scored 10.

Dallas led 81-73 with 4:59 left in the fourth quarter and didn't score again until Cambage's three-point play at 1:32. But the Mystics couldn't get closer than four points during the stretch.

LaToya Sanders made 10 of 13 field goals and scored a career-high 25 points for Washington (13-10).

Elena Delle Donne was held to nine points on three-of-14 shooting.
