Indiana legend was quick to congratulate Fever star guard Kelsey Mitchell, who set a new franchise record on Wednesday against the Liberty.
Fever star Kelsey Mitchell was given a new nickname by the team after reaching this major career milestone in three-pointers.
The Fever scored the final four points of the third and opened the fourth on a 11-2 run to take an 80-67 lead. Indiana led by double figures the rest of the way.
With her second 3-pointer on Wednesday night, Kelsey Mitchell broke Tamika Catchings' Fever franchise record with 607 made 3s.
The first nine games were a struggle in efficiency for Kelsey Mitchell. Her efficiency splits are 11 percentage points better since, and it's needed without Caitlin Clark.
Two days after winning the Commissioner's Cup championship, the Indiana Fever blew out the Las Vegas Aces on July 3, 81-54. Kelsey Mitchell led the way with 25 points. Aliyah Boston had 20 points and seven rebounds. Indiana has now won three games in a row.
It may true that the Indiana Fever will go as high as Caitlin Clark can take them. It will be other players who may be needed to make as much an impact, if not more than the superstar. One fellow member of the Indiana Fever has been as consistent as head coach; Stephanie White can ask.
