Lynx's Kayla McBride sets single-game 3-point record with 10 - ESPN

MINNEAPOLIS --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. She left the game with 1:21 remaining to a roaring ovation. Afterward, she thanked the fans and the organization for their support.

«Minneapolis has become home for me and I want to give my best,» she said. «Whether the ball goes in or doesn't, I just feel so much love. I think that's why I can come out here and do my thing. I feel so loved and appreciated for who I am and I just love the game. I want to win. So I'm grateful for these fans, this organization. I'm just overcome with joy, and when I have opportunities like that I want to give it back.»

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, most recently June 25. Rhyne Howard of Atlanta also has made nine 3s in a game twice.

McBride went a perfect 7-of-7 on contested field goals for 18 points and shot 8-of-9 off passes from rookie phenom Olivia Miles, who finished with 13 assists. Her 43-points are the third-most in Lynx franchise history.

McBride's record 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
