Kayla McBride delivered a stellar performance against the Sparks on Tuesday. She scored a team-high 24 points and led Rodriguez's Minnesota Lynx to their first win of the season. The team-high 24 points also includedthe game-winning three-point play on a reverse layup with 2.1 seconds left. Incredible!

"KAYLA MCBRIDE CALLED GAME" - @ Minnesota Lynx

Post winning, Kayla McBride said she understands Lynx's culture and always wants to show up for the WNBA club and give her best in the game.

"I understand what this Lynx culture is about. That's what makes me want to show up and give whatever I can. As exhausted as I am, I'm super grateful I showed up for my team. We needed that. There's no way I could have been sitting on that sideline today."
