Olivia Miles shines in tight Lynx‑Aces WNBA matchup

sportsJun 14, 2026621,093

Olivia Miles delivered clutch plays and a late fourth quarter surge that forced overtime in the Minnesota Lynx's Commissioner Cup game against the Las Vegas Aces. Kelsey Plum and Kahleah Copper each scored 35-plus points, marking only the fifth game in WNBA history with two 35-point scorers, while A'ja Wilson continued to play at an MVP level for the Aces. Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve praised Miles' fourth-quarter resolve, saying "willing the team at the end, to give us a chance, is a special player." Miles' late-game heroics and steady rookie production put her firmly in Rookie of the Year contention and into emerging MVP conversations that could reshape playoff matchups.

My dad, who used to take me to Shock games, just went on a 10 min rant about how great Olivia Miles is

And she’s a rookie. Calm and strategic.

Excited to take my family to see her play the Sparks on Wednesday. My daughter who wears glasses is particularly excited!

I went to a game and it was so cool to see her do her thing in person. Her ability to see what's happening on the court & then quickly pass/drive is amazing.

This team with a true point guard is terrific. Phee comes back they're going to be even more dynamic. Love it.

Derek Kast2

She's crazy fun to watch.

I love watching Miles play just not against my squad. She’s was stressing me out with that performance, my gosh

Kelsey Plum and Kahleah Copper with just the 5th game in WNBA history where two players have scored 35+ pts. We're going to OT, and just one Copper point away from the first game in league history with two 40+ scorers in the same game. #WNBA

I've said it before & I'll say it again - Olivia Miles is not getting enough hype. She should be on the front page every single page, app, post, etc. Just how y'all put CC, Paige & Angel over the last few years...Miles has come in better than every single one of them #wnba #thew #lynx #aces

Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve on Olivia Miles' fourth quarter: "When you have a rookie like that, maybe not playing her best ... then just of willing yourself at the end and willing the team at the end, to give us a chance, is a special player."
