Kelsey Mitchell scores 29 before sitting out 4th in Fever win - ESPN

TORONTO — Kelsey Mitchell scored 16 points in the first quarter and finished with 29 before sitting out the fourth, Caitlin Clark added 24 points and the Indiana Fever beat the Toronto Tempo 101-95 on Tuesday for their fifth straight victory.

Clark and Mitchell have each scored 20 or more in the same game 16 times this season, a WNBA record. Diana Taurasi and Cappie Pondexter did it 15 times with Phoenix in 2008.

Mitchell also scored 20 or more for the 20th consecutive game, matching Las Vegas' A'ja Wilson for the longest such streak in WNBA history. But after she scored eight points in the span of less than a minute late in the third quarter, she went to the locker room and did not return to the court at steamy Scotiabank Arena.

«This is two games in a row where we played in really, really hot environments,» coach Stephanie White said. «All indications are right now that she was just overheated.»

Mitchell — the WNBA's second-leading scorer (24.2) behind Wilson (26.1) — scored 20 points in 36 minutes Sunday as the Fever needed overtime to win 95-91 at Atlanta.

Last October, Mitchell went to a hospital to receive fluids after dealing with leg cramps in the third quarter of a 107-98 overtime loss to Las Vegas in the decisive Game 5 of a WNBA semifinals series.

White said she wasn't aware of any link between Tuesday's incident and last year's.

Mitchell shot 11-for-16 Tuesday and made 4 of 6 from 3-point range. She was 3-for-3 at the free throw line.

«She just can get a shot at any time,» White said. «She gets a shot for herself, her gravity creates shots for everybody else. It's nice to know that you can give her the ball and let her go to work. There aren't a lot of players that can just create the kinds of shots that she
