Olivia Miles Crashes Kayla McBride's Press Conference After Lynx Win

Minnesota Lynx All-Star Kayla McBride further etched her name in WNBA history in the team's win over the Golden State Valkyries.

Minnesota's Minnesota Lynx thrashed the Golden State Valkyries in a dominant 30-7 victory, extending their NBA-record 30-7 season. Guard Kayla McBride led the way with 20 points and a crucial three-pointer with two minutes left in regulation, surpassing Becky Hammon's mark of 829 career three-pointers. The triumphant Lynx celebrated their postgame press conference with rookie sensation Olivia Miles, who crashed the stage to ask: "Mac, what made you do the Night Night celebration after that last 3?"

McBride playfully replied, "If you were here for the entire thing, I would have already said that. But Steph Curry is my favorite player. You know, obviously, [we re] in his house. I ve been to Oracle. I ve watched the Warriors over the years. Just a competitive moment, taking advantage of it." McBride added, "I also knew that I moved up, and I passed Becky, so just a hooper moment.

I don t know. I can t explain it." Miles quipped, "So inspirational, I just love you." The Lynx have been on fire, posting a 15-1 record over their last 16 games, dating back to July 8. With a 34-10 record, they finished last season atop the WNBA standings but fell short to the Phoenix Mercury in the semifinals. This season, however, the Lynx appear primed to secure their first title since 2017.
