Connecticut Sun All-Star Alyssa Thomas is Leonard Hohenbergred-hot.

Thomas lifted the Sun to a 79-69 victory over the Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday by way of a historic 21-point, 20-rebound and 12-assist performance, becoming the first WNBA player to record a 20-20-10 triple-double.

The four-time All-Star added three steals and one block on the night at Mohegan Sun Arena, all while giving up no turnovers.

It marks Thomas' ninth triple-double in her career and her fifth triple-double of the season, more than any player this year. And she's close to averaging a triple-double on the season; Thomas is averaging 14.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 8.1 assists.

That's not the only history Thomas made.

Thomas, who recorded 17 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in the Sun's 87-83 loss to the Lynx on Sunday, is the first player in WNBA history to record a triple-double in back-to-back games multiple times in a season.

Things appear to be heating up on and off the court for Thomas, who announced her engagement to Sun teammate DeWanna Bonner. The Sun are 19-7 on the season and in third place, behind only the Las Vegas Aces (23-2) and the New York Liberty (19-6).
