​One by one, Olivia Miles keeps checking off milestones that once belonged to some of the WNBA’s biggest stars. After surpassing Caitlin Clark’s pace to a number of rookie records earlier this season, the Minnesota Lynx guard has now added another historic accomplishment to her rapidly growing list, beating Clark’s record by two games.Miles exploded for a career-high 33 points, eight assists, and three rebounds in the Lynx’s 104-100 victory over Alyssa Thomas and the Phoenix Mercury. According to ESPN Insights, the performance made her the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 400 points, 100 rebounds, and 100 assists.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementShe needed just 22 games to rewrite yet another chapter of the league’s record books. Meanwhile, it took Caitlin Clark 24 games to reach the same milestone during her rookie season in 2024. And this is far from the first time Miles has directly outpaced Caitlin Clark in this remarkable rookie campaign.She has also surpassed Clark for the most three-pointers made by a rookie in a single game, sinking eight triples, ahead of Clark’s seven. She has also scored the most points by a rookie in a single half. She has also been the fastest to 300 points and 100 assists.All of this is a testament to how historically significant Olivia Miles‘ 2026 rookie campaign has been. She is currently averaging 18.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game. These numbers make her case for the Rookie of the Year award about as straightforward as it gets.Besides Olivia Miles, Kayla McBride also shone in the win against the Mercury. Alongside Miles’ career-high 33 points, McBride exploded for 37, the two combining for a staggering 70 points between them.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementSpeaking in a postgame interview on WNBA Showtime with Sue Bird, Miles offered a window into how the two of them got into such a groove.“Yeah, Mac and I were just talking about getting the crowd involved. And it started with a few threes… The shot was feeling good tonight, so I just kept it going after I made the first one. And obviously, she’s one of the greatest shooters of all time. So I’ll give her the ball any night.”Together, the duo combined for 11 triples on the night, McBride knocking in six and Miles adding five. And their efficiency was equally impressive. McBride shot 66.7 percent from beyond the arc while Miles converted at 55.6 percent.McBride has, in fact, been a major contributor to the Lynx’s remarkable season throughout. Through 23 games, the veteran sharpshooter is putting up some of her best numbers in years: 16.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game. Pairing that with a generational rookie definitely makes the Minnesota Lynx look like a team that could go all the way.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementTrending ArticlesCaitlin Clark Scripts WNBA History in Fever’s Dominant Win Over Defending ChampionsBetnijah Laney-Hamilton Ejected for Throwing Jonquel Jones’
