Minnesota Lynx guard Kayla McBride put on a remarkable performance for her hometown fans on Sunday, setting a new WNBA single-game record by sinking 10 3-pointers in a thrilling 103-90 victory against the Dallas Wings at the Target Center. McBride, a five-time all-star and four-time EuroLeague champion, shot an impressive 10 out of 14 from beyond the arc, culminating in a career-best 43 points. The crowd at the Target Center was clearly behind McBride, urging her to chase the record, and she didn’t disappoint.

With just 2:23 left in the game, McBride made the record-breaking 10th three-pointer, extending the Lynx’s lead to 98-83. The home crowd gave her a standing ovation as she left the court with 1:21 remaining. In a post-game interview, McBride expressed her gratitude to the fans and the organization for their unwavering support, emphasizing how Minneapolis has become a special place for her.

Prior to McBride’s historic feat, the record for most 3-pointers in a game stood at nine, achieved eight times previously, including by Toronto’s Marina Mabrey twice this season. McBride’s exceptional performance not only set a new individual record but also helped the Lynx break the franchise’s single-game 3-point record, with the team finishing 18 of 39 from beyond the arc. The victory marked the Lynx’s 12th win in 13 games and secured their spot as the first team to clinch a playoff berth this season.

Reflecting on her standout performance, McBride expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to shine on the court and credited the supportive environment in Minnesota for her success. The Lynx have been on an offensive tear recently, consistently reaching high scoring marks in their games, with McBride’s record-setting performance being a standout moment in her 13-year WNBA career.
