Minnesota Lynx guard Kayla McBride set a new WNBA single-game record with 10 3-pointers during Sunday’s 103-90 victory against the Dallas Wings. There was a lot to celebrate for the Lynx, because the win also made them the first team this season to clinch a spot in the playoffs.In the process, McBride set a new career-high of 43 points. She had a very efficient shooting night, going 10 of 14 from beyond the arc. She stated she was not really aware she was close to breaking the record until a member of the coaching staff told her she needed one more 3-pointer.”Just trying to win, really, that’s all it is,” she stated postgame, while also admitting she had been angry about missing some shots in the third quarter. “Just hooping, trying to get a dub. When it’s going down, it’s going down. There is no better feeling.”In 2019, Kelsey Mitchell became the first player in WNBA history to make nine 3-pointers in a game. Since then, that mark has been matched seven times — this season alone, Chelsea Gray had nine 3-pointers on June 11 and Marina Mabrey equaled that in two separate games later in the month. But no player was able to reach double digits from beyond the arc until Mabrey on Sunday.
The bucket that earned her the 3-point record happened with 2:23 remaining in the fourth quarter. Fans at Target Center gave her a standing ovation to celebrate the achievement.
