Indiana Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell set a new WNBA record Thursday night, scoring at least 20 points for the 21st consecutive game — a streak that stretches back to late June and now stands alone in league history, even as her team fell 91-85 to the Dallas Wings.
Mitchell reached the milestone with 4.4 seconds left in the second quarter and finished the night with a game-high 37 points, eclipsing the mark of 20 straight 20-point games set by Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson across the 2023 and 2024 seasons. Before Wilson, the previous benchmark belonged to Diana Taurasi, who put together a 13-game run.
The streak began June 22 with a 22-point outing against the Phoenix Mercury and has continued for nearly two full months, during which Mitchell has averaged close to 27 points per game — an unusually sustained scoring pace even by the standards of the WNBA's most prolific shooters. Reporting from the game indicated Mitchell downplayed the individual achievement afterward, turning attention instead to the loss, which snapped Indiana's five-game winning streak.
The Fever have leaned heavily on Mitchell's scoring during the stretch run of the season as the team pushes for playoff positioning. Her consistency has drawn comparisons to some of the league's great scoring streaks and has renewed attention on Indiana's offense heading into the season's final weeks, even as Thursday's result was a reminder that individual brilliance has not always translated into wins for a Fever team still finding its footing against top-tier opponents like Dallas.
