Kayla McBride poured in 25 points and drained five three-pointers to lift the Minnesota Lynx past the New York Liberty, denying New York a sweep of the season series at Target Center.
What happened
McBride shot 47.1% from the field while going a perfect 5-for-5 from beyond the arc. She rounded out a complete two-way night with 4 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 assists. The win came in a rematch after the Liberty's 99-86 win over the Lynx earlier this season.
Why it matters
New York had been positioned to sweep the season series, but McBride's shooting night instead handed the Liberty their second straight loss. The performance is the latest marker for McBride, who recently passed Tina Thompson for fifth on the WNBA's all-time three-pointers list.
By the numbers
McBride finished with 25 points, 4 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 assists, going 5-for-5 from three-point range and shooting 47.1% overall from the field.
What's next
New York turns to Sunday's game at Toronto Tempo, with tipoff set for 3 p.m. ET from Bell Centre.
