What happened: Kayla McBride scored a game-high 37 points as the Minnesota Lynx beat the Phoenix Mercury 104-100. McBride added 6 rebounds and 1 assist on the night, following the same McBride who sparked a Lynx surge with 25 points earlier this month. Olivia Miles finished with 33 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists, while Kahleah Copper added 26 points for Minnesota.

Why it matters: The scoring balance gave Minnesota three players in double figures against a Phoenix team still working to find consistency in the second half of the season. McBride's night was the headline number, but Miles' 8 assists point to the Lynx generating offense from multiple spots on the floor.

What to watch: Both teams continue WNBA regular-season play, with Minnesota looking to build on the win and Phoenix aiming to steady its second half.
