The Indiana Fever secured an emphatic 103–85 road victory over the Toronto Tempo, driven by a masterclass from their star backcourt tandem. Caitlin Clark turned in a stellar performance, recording 28 points and matching a season-high 14 assists for her 14th double-double of the campaign.

However, the night belonged to guard Kelsey Mitchell, who made WNBA history by breaking the single-season scoring record. Pouring in 33 points on 12-of-17 shooting—including seven 3-pointers—Mitchell eclipsed A’ja Wilson’s 2024 record of 1,021 points with a smooth third-quarter shot from beyond the arc. Mitchell reached 1,034 total points for the season while extending her league record of 25 consecutive games with 20 or more points.

The timeline of the accomplishment highlights Mitchell’s incredible consistency. While A’ja Wilson set the previous benchmark of 1,021 points over 38 games during a 40-game regular season in 2024, Mitchell achieved her record-breaking total in her 41st game of an expanded 44-game regular season.

With Clark dishing out plays and Mitchell delivering unprecedented efficiency, Indiana continues to cement its status as a top contender heading into the postseason.
