On July 13th, in a WNBA regular season game, the Storm defeated the Lynx 91-63 at home, avoiding a losing streak. The absence of Collier had a significant impact on the Lynx; although they started off well, they lacked staying power, particularly during crucial moments when they needed to catch up, appearing out of sorts. Apart from McBride, who was in good form, the rest of the team performed poorly. Carlton, who started, went 1-for-8 with just 2 points, while Smith also scored only 2 points on 1-of-4 shooting. McBride was the only player on the team to score in double figures, and the team’s shooting percentage was a lowly 30%, indicating an overall poor performance. In the previous two games, Collier was also absent, but fortunately, their opponents were of average strength, the Mystics and the Sparks respectively. In this match against the Storm, they couldn’t maintain the form of the last two games, with the entire team, except for McBride, failing to deliver offensively. Throughout the game, McBride played for 25 minutes and 18 seconds, going 7-for-13 from the field, 6-for-12 from three-point range, and 7-for-7 from the free-throw line, scoring a game-high 27 points, 1 rebound, and 1 assist, along with 3 steals, 1 turnover, and 1 foul, ending with a plus-minus rating of -13, her efforts proving futile.
