  "account": "Caitlin Clark expressed her admiration for Indiana Fever teammate Kelsey Mitchell's incredible performance this season. During Friday night's win against the Toronto Tempo, the duo combined for 61 points to secure a 103-85 victory. Mitchell led the scoring with 33 points, hitting 12 of 17 field goals and 7 of 11 3-pointers. This achievement marks a new WNBA scoring record for Mitchell, as she has now scored 1,022 points in a single season – the highest total by any player in the league. With several games remaining in the season, Mitchell still has the potential to surpass this record.\n\nFollowing the game, Clark, along with head coach Stephanie White, discussed Mitchell's accomplishments. Clark remarked, \"Yeah, just super excited for her. I mean, I don't think people realize what she's done this year and how insane it's been.\" She emphasized Mitchell's efficiency, saying, \"It's probably not talked about enough, especially in my opinion. And for her to score the ball consistently every single night and at the clip she's doing it, how efficient she's doing it, like it's ridiculous.\" Clark also noted that Mitchell might be on par with some NBA players in terms of efficiency. Mitchell's highly efficient 51.8% field-goal percentage has been instrumental in the Fever's winning streak as they aim for another WNBA Playoffs run.",
