MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota Lynx guard Kayla McBride wanted to give the hometown fans a show Sunday. She delivered one that the Target Center crowd will never forget. The five-time All-Star and four-time EuroLeague champion broke the WNBA single-game record by making 10 3-pointers Sunday in a 103-90 victory over the Dallas Wings.
McBride made 10 of 14 shots from behind the arc and finished with a career-high 43 points — and she did it in front of a home crowd that seemed to be urging her to chase the record. The record-breaker came with 2:23 to play and gave the Lynx a 98-83 lead.
The previous record of nine 3-pointers in a game had been done eight previous times, including twice this season by Toronto’s Marina Mabrey during a six-day span. McBride’s incredible day also helped the Lynx (27-7) break the franchise’s single-game 3-point record. The Lynx finished 18 of 39 on 3s and won for the 12th time in 13 games.

明尼阿波利斯（美联社）——明尼苏达林克斯队的后卫凯拉·麦克布赖德希望在周日为家乡的球迷带来一场精彩的表演。她给目标中心的观众留下了难以忘怀的回忆。这位五次全明星和四次欧联冠军在周日以103-90战胜达拉斯翼队的比赛中打破了WNBA单场比赛纪录，命中10个三分球。
