Kayla McBride dropped 23 points to lead the Minnesota Lynx to an 86-80 win over the Connecticut Sun, handing head coach Cheryl Reeve her 380th career regular-season victory — a WNBA record that now stands alone after surpassing Mike Thibault. Reeve, who’s guided the Lynx to all four of their titles since 2010, reflected on learning from Thibault and expressed pride in future coaches who may one day break her mark. The Lynx’s path to the milestone wasn’t easy — they’d lost two straight games after tying Thibault’s record, including a tough home loss to the Sun just days prior. Natasha Howard added a double-double, while Saniya Rivers exited with an ankle sprain and rookie Olivia Miles missed her second straight game with a calf strain. The Lynx now hold a half-game lead over the Las Vegas Aces and host New York this Saturday, while the Sun face Golden State on Friday.
