  "account": "On Tuesday, the Indiana Fever triumphed over the Toronto Tempo with a final score of 101-95, marking their fifth consecutive victory. Kelsey Mitchell led the way for the Fever with 29 points, including 16 points in the first quarter, before sitting out the final quarter. Her teammate Caitlin Clark added 24 points to the Fever's tally. This marks the 16th time Mitchell and Clark have each scored 20 or more points in the same game this season, setting a new WNBA record. It's the longest such streak in WNBA history for Mitchell, matching Las Vegas' A'ja Wilson's record. Mitchell also scored 20 or more points for 20 consecutive games, tying Las Vegas' A'ja Wilson for the longest such streak in WNBA history. However, Mitchell left the game after scoring 8 points late in the third quarter, citing overheating. The Fever, who never trailed, dominated the game with Aliyah Boston scoring 16 points, and Sophie Cunningham making all three 3-point attempts for 13 points. The Tempo struggled, with Marina Mabrey and Brittney Sykes putting up 22 and 15 points respectively in her return from injury. Despite a mix of cheers and boos from fans toward Cunningham upon her entry into the game, the Fever secured their victory.",
