⚡️ McBride moves past Thompson on leaderboard ⚡️ With her second three in the 3Q of the Lynx's win, Kayla McBride pass

What happened: Kayla McBride drained her second three-pointer of the third quarter to move past Tina Thompson and into fifth place on the WNBA's all-time three-point makes list. The milestone came in Minnesota's win, a 99-83 result over Los Angeles. The make was part of Minnesota's Commissioner's Cup slate.

Why it matters: McBride has been a foundational floor-spacer for a Lynx team that has separated itself in the standings, and passing a Hall of Famer like Tina Thompson underscores her standing among the league's most prolific shooters. Moving into the top five cements her as one of the most reliable perimeter threats of her era.

By the numbers: Minnesota sits at 15-3 on the season, scoring 90.8 points per game while allowing just 78.1. The Lynx have won two straight and are 4-1 over their last five.

What to watch: Watch where McBride sets her sights next on the all-time leaderboard as Minnesota pushes through its Commissioner's Cup schedule. Her continued volume from deep should keep her climbing.
