Overview
- McBride made a WNBA‑record 10 three‑pointers and scored a career‑high 43 points in the Minnesota Lynx’s 103-90 win over the Dallas Wings on Sunday.
- The victory made Minnesota the first team this season to clinch a playoff berth and improved the Lynx to 27-7, leaving them with the league’s best record and 10 regular‑season games remaining.
- Rookie Olivia Miles supplied 20 points and 13 assists and Napheesa Collier added 17 points, providing the playmaking and frontcourt balance that amplified McBride’s shooting.
- Dallas was hampered by availability issues: All‑Star Jessica Shepard exited with a right ankle injury and rookie Azzi Fudd missed her second straight game with right knee soreness.
- Minnesota set a franchise single‑game mark with 18 made threes, McBride’s performance broke the previous nine‑three record, and the team now heads into a multi‑game road stretch with momentum and a chance to challenge its single‑season win mark.
