The Indiana Fever absolutely dismantled the New York Liberty, taking a dominant 108-88 win, and the entire WNBA is taking notice of Kelsey Mitchell’s incredible run. Mitchell dropped a jaw-dropping 33 points in that game, but when asked about her individual accomplishments afterwards, she stayed completely straight-faced, telling reporters, “I’m not a stats person.” Talk about staying humble, even when you’re torching the record books!
Mitchell Is Tying Franchise Records at an Insane Pace
That 33-point explosion against the Liberty wasn’t just another big night; it was Mitchell’s second consecutive 30-point game. Think about that: back-to-back nights where she’s just filling up the stat sheet. Even wilder, it was her fourth 30-point game this season, a feat that immediately ties the franchise record for most 30-point games in a single season. And get this: she’s tying her own record from the 2025 season, and the one set by Caitlin Clark in 2024. This isn’t some flash in the pan; this is a pattern, a trend of consistent, elite offensive firepower. What’s even more impressive is how much faster she’s hitting these marks this year. It took Mitchell 35 games last season to reach her fourth 30-point performance. This season, she’s doing it in fewer games, showing a clear escalation in her game and a relentless drive that Fever fans have to be loving.
Her Scoring Streaks Are Absolutely Historic
Mitchell might not be a stats person, but the numbers she’s putting up are impossible to ignore. We’re talking about a WNBA All-Star who has finished in double figures for an astounding 41 consecutive games, extending her own franchise record streak. That’s not just a nice run; it’s the 20th longest streak in the entire history of the WNBA. And she’s not just chipping away at double digits either. Mitchell has scored 20-plus points in 10 consecutive games, which ranks as the fifth-longest streak in league history. She also has 128 games with 20-plus points total, an incredible career accomplishment. Her quiet demeanor after the game, talking about chemistry and wanting to see her teammates win, just shows you the kind of player she is. “I like to think that all the success I’ve had lately comes from my teammates and the organization across the board,” Mitchell said, adding, “It’s about chemistry. I want to see them win, they want to see me win. It’s a good relationship to have.” That’s the mindset of a true leader, performing at an elite level while keeping the team first.
What does this mean for the Fever moving forward? When your best player is putting up historic numbers like this, showing a level of consistency that few in the league can match, you have to feel good about the direction of the team. With Mitchell absolutely on fire, continuing to push her own limits and rewrite the record books, it’s going to be a wild ride watching what she does next.
