On Thursday night, the Dallas Wings halted the Indiana Fever‘s momentum with a 91-85 victory, despite a historic performance from Kelsey Mitchell. Mitchell, the veteran guard for Indiana, set a new WNBA record by scoring 37 points and extending her streak of 20-plus point games to 21 consecutive outings, surpassing the previous mark held by A’ja Wilson.
However, Mitchell’s remarkable effort was not enough to secure the win for the Fever.
