Kayla McBride Breaks WNBA Record with 10 Three-Pointers in Lynx Playoff Victory
In a remarkable performance, Kayla McBride of the Minnesota Lynx set a new WNBA single-game record by making 10 three-pointers during a 103-90 victory against the Dallas Wings on Sunday. This win secured the Lynx's place in the playoffs as the first team to do so this season.
McBride achieved a career-high of 43 points, shooting 10 of 14 from beyond the arc. She was informed by a coaching staff member that she needed one more three-pointer to break the record, which she accomplished with 2:23 left in the game, earning a standing ovation from fans at Target Center.
Alongside McBride's historic achievement, Rookie of the Year candidate Olivia Miles contributed significantly with 20 points and a season-high 13 assists. The Lynx improved their overall record to 27-7, continuing their strong performance despite star player Napheesa Collier missing the first 27 games of the season. Minnesota is on track to surpass their franchise record for most wins in a single season.
