Minnesota Lynx guard Kayla McBride put on a spectacular performance for her hometown fans on Sunday. She set a new WNBA single-game record by sinking 10 3-pointers in the Lynx’s 103-90 victory over the Dallas Wings at the Target Center. McBride, a five-time all-star and four-time EuroLeague champion, shot 10 of 14 from beyond the arc, finishing with a career-best 43 points. The crowd cheered her on as she achieved this milestone, and she expressed gratitude to the fans and the organization for their support.
McBride’s exceptional performance not only set a new record but also helped the Lynx break their franchise’s single-game 3-point record. The team made 18 of 39 3-point attempts and secured their spot in the playoffs, becoming the first team to do so. Minnesota has been on a remarkable offensive streak, surpassing 100 points in four of their last six games. Despite the team’s overall success, Sunday’s game belonged to McBride, who felt overwhelmed by the support and love from the fans in her 5 1/2 seasons with the Lynx.
Reflecting on her achievement, McBride expressed gratitude for the opportunity to showcase her skills in front of her hometown crowd. Her decision to return to Minnesota in the offseason proved to be the right choice, as she continues to excel and make significant contributions to the team.
