Kayla McBride, Lynx Beat Aces by 53 Points, Set WNBA Record for Largest Road Victory

Kayla McBride and the Minnesota Lynx wrapped up a dominant 111-58 win over the Las Vegas Aces on Saturday.

The 53-point margin of victory represented the largest on the road in WNBA history.

McBride finished with a game-high 24 points, shooting 8-of-10 from three-point territory.

The Lynx were able to secure the lopsided win despite star forward Napheesa Collier exiting the contest near the end of the third quarter with an ankle injury.

Collier exited the contest after colliding with teammate Alanna Smith and landing awkwardly on her right foot.

The 2024 Defensive Player of the Year finished with 18 points, five assists and two steals in 26 minutes of action before suffering the injury.

Minnesota didn't waste any time taking a double-digit lead during Saturday's contest, jumping out to an impressive 16-5 edge with just over six minutes left in the first quarter.

The Lynx led 67-33 at halftime and never let up defensively, holding the Aces to a mere 25 points over the final two quarters of the game.

McBride led the way for Minnesota, but she was far from the team's only contributor.

Jessica Shepard posted a double-double off the bench, scoring 18 points and grabbing 14 rebounds while shooting 87.5 percent from the field. Natisha Hiedeman also chipped in with 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting as a reserve.

Minnesota was unstoppable offensively, connecting on 63 percent of its shots from behind the arc as a team. The Lynx also dished out 32 assists compared to just 12 turnovers.

With the win, Minnesota improved to 24-5 and maintained its status atop the WNBA standings. The Lynx have now scored at least 100 points in three of their past four games.

Meanwhile, the Aces fell to 14-14.
