Lynx 111, Aces 58: Why They Call Her McBuckets

Minnesota set a WNBA record for a road victory while Kayla McBride also makes history with a wild display of shooting.

Our @yoleo.bsky.social recaps the belt-to-ass action ⤵️

She's able to walk off the court on her own power with a minor limp, being assisted by Barta. Hopefully avoided disaster.

Replay shows her right foot turned pretty hard on Alanna Smith's during a fastbreak sequence.

Alright, here it is.

Kayla McBride going a perfect 8 for 8 from 3 in the 1st half
