Minnesota's Lynx Obliterate Las Vegas Aces 111-58, Setting New WNBA Away Win Record
Minnesota Lynx Shatter WNBA Road Victory Record in Historic 53-Point Win
The Minnesota Lynx made history on August 2, 2025, as they defeated the Las Vegas Aces with a staggering margin of 53 points - 111-58 - setting a new record for the largest road victory in WNBA history.
This monumental win, played away from home, surpasses all previous road wins by margin, and although it ranks just below the largest overall wins in the league's history, it is a testament to the Lynx's dominance in that game.
Napheesa Collier, who has been averaging 23.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.8 steals throughout the season, contributed significantly to the win before her injury late in the third quarter. Collier scored 18 points, grabbed three rebounds, dished out five assists, and recorded two steals before exiting the game.
Kayla McBride's standout performance, which included 24 points and an impressive 8-of-10 shooting from three-point range, also played a crucial role in the Lynx's victory. Jessica Shepard, who returned to the WNBA in 2025 after missing the 2024 season, delivered a double-double of 18 points and 14 rebounds for the Lynx, with a plus/minus of +46.
The Lynx's impressive performance in this game is a significant benchmark for the franchise and the league, showcasing their road dominance. As they prepare for their next game against the Seattle Storm on Tuesday, the Lynx can look back on this historic victory with pride.
It is worth noting that Collier was named to the All-WNBA First Team in the 2024 season, and she was the runner-up for the MVP award in the same year. She also won the Defensive Player of the Year award in the 2024 season. Collier's injury in the game against the Aces is a concern for the Lynx, but their impressive team effort in the historic victory demonstrates their resilience and depth.
