  "account": "Caitlin Clark expressed her dissatisfaction with the temperature inside the Tempo arena during Indiana Fever's 101-95 victory over Toronto Tempo on Tuesday night. Kelsey Mitchell, who scored a game-high 29 points, exited the game after the third quarter due to overheating. Clark attributed the high temperature to the arena staff and remarked, \"It's a million degrees in here.\" Mitchell's exit could worry Fever fans who recall Mitchell's critical role in the team's 2025 playoff run, which ended against Las Vegas Aces' Kelsey Mitchell. Before leaving the game, Mitchell extended her 20-plus point game streak to 20, tying A'ja Wilson's WNBA record.",
  "summary": "Mitchell was dominating but \"overheated\" according to her coach.",
