What happened: Kayla McBride scored 25 points and counting for Minnesota on Saturday, drilling her third three-pointer of the game to push the Lynx's lead to 78-72 and force a timeout. The surge built on a 42-32 halftime edge Minnesota carried behind Miles and Stewart.

Why it matters: The outburst continues a run for Minnesota, which already leads the league's career three-point conversation through McBride; she passed Tina Thompson for 5th on the WNBA's all-time three-point list last month. The Lynx also enter this stretch positioned among trade-deadline buyers as the season progresses.

What to watch: Minnesota looks to close out the game and confirm McBride's final scoring line as the Lynx push through their current stretch.
