Summary
Eight 3-pointers from Olivia Miles powered Minnesota past Golden State 87-84, with the No. 2 pick finishing with a season-high 28 points, seven assists and four rebounds.
Miles hit 8 of 11 from deep after opening the season just 2 of 18 beyond the arc through nine games, a surge coach Cheryl Reeve said had been building as her confidence grew.
The mark broke the WNBA rookie single-game record of seven shared by Caitlin Clark in 2024 and Crystal Robinson in 1999, and also tied Kayla McBride's Lynx franchise record.
Miles scored or assisted on 44 of Minnesota's 87 points and now has 317 points created through 10 career games, one behind Paige Bueckers' 2025 league benchmark.
