Kelsey Mitchell sets scoring streak record as Fever hold off Sky 90-86

Abstract editorial illustration

Kelsey Mitchell shattered a WNBA single-season record on Saturday, scoring 27 points in her 16th consecutive game with 20-plus points. Caitlin Clark contributed 26 points and 11 assists as the Indiana Fever defeated the Chicago Sky 90-86. Mitchell drained 11 of 22 attempts, including three 3-pointers, while Aliyah Boston added 13 points and 11 rebounds for the Fever.

Mitchell's record-setting performance comes just days after Chicago's DiJonai Carrington posted "WHITE PRIVILEGE" on social media after being ejected for a Flagrant 2 foul on Sophie Cunningham. While Clark's career milestone is now tied for the fourth-most in league history, her technical foul that resulted in a one-game suspension was later rescinded by the WNBA.
