What happened: Olivia Miles entered Friday 2-for-18 from 3-point range, then hit 8 of her first 11 attempts against the Golden State Valkyries. The outburst set a WNBA single-game rookie record for made threes, according to the source signal.

Why it matters: The performance turns a cold early-season shooting sample into a historic night and adds another layer to Miles' growing Commissioner’s Cup impact. Golden State entered Friday at 6-3 in the current WNBA standings, making the game meaningful beyond the individual record.

By the numbers: Miles from 3: 2-for-18 entering Friday; 8-for-11 so far against the Valkyries. The eight made threes are the most by a rookie in a single WNBA game, per the source signal.

What to watch: Watch whether Miles keeps getting high-volume perimeter looks after this breakout. The final box score will show whether the record night also swings the game result.
