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 break the franchise’s single-game 3-point record, finishing 18 of 39 on 3s and winning for the 12th time in 13 games.

明尼阿波利斯（美联社）——明尼苏达林克斯的后卫凯拉·麦克布赖德希望在周日为家乡球迷带来一场精彩的表演。她成功地为目标中心的观众奉献了一场难以忘怀的比赛。这位五届全明星和四届欧洲联赛冠军在对阵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，最终以103-90获胜。
麦克布赖德在三分线外14投10中，得到了职业生涯最高的43分——而且她是在一群似乎在鼓励她追逐纪录的主场观众面前做到的。她的破纪录三分球是在比赛还剩2分23秒时投中的，使林克斯以98-83领先。
之前的九个三分球纪录曾被八次打破，包括本赛季多伦多的玛丽娜·马布雷在六天内两次创造的纪录。麦克布赖德的精彩表现还帮助林克斯打破了球队单场三分球纪录，最终以39投18中，赢得了13场比赛中的12场。
