Charles earned the honor after her fourth-quarter layup gave Atlanta a 67-65 lead over the host Dallas Wings on Friday.

Charles' long list of accolades include the 2012 WNBA MVP award, eight WNBA All-Star honors and five All-WNBA First Teams. The three-time Olympic gold medalist is also a member of the WNBA's 25th Anniversary team.

It's more likely than not that Charles will finish this season second on the WNBA's all-time scoring list.

After Friday, Charles has scored 7,383 career points, just 105 behind Basketball Hall of Famer Tina Thompson in second. She's averaging 14.1 points per game this season, and the Dream have 21 regular-season games remaining.

So if Charles scores around her current average for eight more games, she'll surpass Thompson to take solo second. So keep an eye out in mid-August or so, when the Dream have a five-game homestand from Aug. 16-26.

As for the game, the Dream fell 85-82 to the Wings. Charles finished with 12 points, eight rebounds and a pair of blocked shots.
