  "account": "Kelsey Mitchell set two records during a historic performance against the Dallas Wings. The Indiana Fever guard, who entered the game with an illness designation, left with two more entries in the record book. Mitchell erupted for 21 points before halftime, extending her streak of 20-point games to 21 consecutive. This surpassed the previous record held by A'ja Wilson, who had previously held the mark. Mitchell finished the game with 37 points, shooting 9-of-18 from the floor, making four of her seven 3-point attempts, and going a perfect 15-of-15 at the free-throw line. In addition to breaking her own franchise single-season scoring record with 891 points and counting in just 37 games, Mitchell also established a new Indiana single-season scoring record by reaching 891 points during the 37th game of the season.",
