Kayla McBride dropped a career-defining 24 points, vaulting into the top 20 all-time WNBA scorers with 5,840+ points, as the Minnesota Lynx cruised to a 101-93 win over the Portland Fire — their fifth straight victory. McBride’s scorching night included 9-of-14 shooting and 4 threes, fueling a team that’s now 20-6 and atop the standings. With six straight games over 20 points, she capped the win with a clutch three to seal the lead. Teammates Natasha Howard (16), rookie Olivia Miles (14 pts, 10 ast), Courtney Williams (15), and Dorka Juhasz (12) supported her, while Portland’s Bridget Carleton (22) and Carla Leite (21) kept it close. Lynx head to Seattle for a Monday showdown; Fire host Dallas on Wednesday.
