Lynx Set WNBA Record with 53-Point Road Win Over Aces

Kayla McBride led the Minnesota Lynx to a historic 111-58 victory over the Las Vegas Aces, setting a WNBA record for the largest road win with a 53-point margin. McBride made eight of eight three-pointers in the first half, tying the WNBA record for most threes in a half and helping Minnesota set a team record with 17 made three-pointers in the game. Despite McBride missing two three-point attempts in the second half and falling one short of the single-game record of nine threes, she finished with 24 points. The Lynx's dominant offense saw them shoot 76.5% from the floor in the first half, scoring 67 points, their highest since 2017. Star forward and MVP candidate Napheesa Collier contributed 18 points but left late in the third quarter with a right ankle injury after an on-court collision with teammate Alanna Smith. Additional key contributors for Minnesota included Jessica Shepard with 18 points and 14 rebounds and Natisha Hiedeman with 17 points, while the Aces struggled offensively, with A'ja Wilson limited to 10 points.
