Kayla McBride made WNBA history Sunday night with 10 three-pointers against the Dallas Wings. The Minnesota Lynx guard dropped a career-high 43 points in the dominant 103-90 road victory.
She shot 16-of-21 overall and connected on 10-of-14 from deep to break the league record. That performance passed the previous mark of nine, which six players had tied previously. McBride’s hot shooting fueled Minnesota to its 27th win and officially clinched a playoff berth.
The Lynx have won 12 of their last 13 games and look unstoppable heading into September. Her 10 threes came on quick releases, step-backs, and transition bombs that silenced the Dallas crowd. Fans chanted her name late as she broke the record with 2:14 left in the fourth.
Coach Cheryl Reeve called McBride’s night “one of the best shooting displays I’ve ever seen.” Teammates fed her repeatedly because every shot looked good coming off her hands. This WNBA record performance shows why Minnesota remains a top title contender this season.
McBride now leads the league in clutch scoring and three-point percentage over the last month. Minnesota will host Los Angeles next, and expectations are sky high after this statement win.
