Kelsey Mitchell scored 33 points to set a WNBA season scoring record with 1,034 points, surpassing A'ja Wilson's 1,021-point mark from 2024. The Indiana Fever guard's performance in a 103-85 win over the Toronto Tempo triggered a surprise postgame celebration. Mitchell also extended her streak to 25 consecutive games with at least 20 points, a WNBA record.

She shot 12-for-17 overall and 7-for-11 from three-point range. Teammate Caitlin Clark praised Mitchell's historic season, noting it's "probably not talked about enough." Clark added 28 points and 14 assists in her first game since winning FIBA World Cup gold with the U.S. Indiana improved to 27-14, tying the Atlanta Dream for third in the Eastern Conference as teams vie for home-court advantage in the playoffs. Coach Stephanie White called Mitchell's performance "unprecedented" and urged the team not to take it for granted.
