Overview
- On Sunday, Kayla McBride made a WNBA-record 10 three-pointers and scored a career-high 43 points as the Minnesota Lynx beat the Dallas Wings 103-90.
- McBride shot 16-for-21 overall and 10-of-14 from long range, with the record-breaking 10th three coming with about 2:23 left in the fourth quarter on an assist from Napheesa Collier.
- The Lynx finished with a franchise single-game high of 18 made 3s, improved to 27-7, and became the first team this season to clinch a playoff spot.
- Key supporting performances included Olivia Miles (20 points, 13 assists) and Napheesa Collier (17 points, 8 rebounds), while Dallas lost Jessica Shepard to an ankle injury and continued to be without rookie Azzi Fudd.
- McBride’s mark breaks the previous high of nine made 3s that had been matched several times in recent seasons and gives Minnesota room to manage its rotation as it pursues the league’s top seed and a possible franchise wins record.
