Rookie guard Olivia Miles continued her season of brilliance with the Minnesota Lynx as she broke a rookie record during their latest matchup against the Golden State Valkyries. She would splash home eight 3-pointers on 11 tries in the Thursday-night bout, the most by a rookie in a single game in league history, in a close battle that saw the Lynx hit 50% of their 3-point shots, according to a tweet from ESPN reporter Alexa Philippou.Olivia Miles was 2 for 18 on 3s entering today.
