The Minnesota Lynx became the first team in the WNBA this season to clinch a spot in the playoffs after securing a 103-90 win over the visiting Dallas Wings, Sunday, Aug. 9 in Minneapolis.
And the Lynx's top players are playing at their very best as the season winds down.
In the victory for Minnesota, Kayla McBride broke the WNBA record for most 3-pointers made in a single game by knocking down 10-of-14 shots from behind the arc. McBride, the 34-year-old veteran guard out of Notre Dame, scored a career-high 43 points in a win.
The previous record was nine 3-pointers in a single game, a mark that several players had achieved. Marina Mabrey of the Toronto Tempo and Chelsea Gray of the Las Vegas Aces did it most recently in games this season.
According to ESPN, McBride shot 8-of-9 off feeds from Olivia Miles against the Wings. McBride was also a perfect 5-of-5 from the floor when she was being guarded by Paige Bueckers. McBride broke the record when she caught a pass from teammate Napheesa Collier and fired a 3-pointer from the left corner in front of the Lynx bench.
