Kelsey Mitchell is rewriting the record books in Indiana. The Fever guard passed Tina Thompson on the WNBA's all-time three-point list and tied Diana Taurasi with her thirteenth consecutive twenty-point game — back-to-back milestones in a single win over Portland. That's the kind of night that cements legacies.
Speaking of Indiana, Sophie Cunningham stepped up to address the swirling controversy around the Fever, making her position crystal clear and pushing back on the idea that outside noise is getting inside the locker room. Whether that settles things or adds fuel to the fire remains to be seen, but Cunningham wasn't backing down.
And the WNBA is handing out fines after a wave of chippy play across the league. Aliyah Boston is facing a five hundred dollar penalty after a heated exchange with Portland's Serah Williams, while Kiki Iriafen and Cotie McMahon are each on the hook for the same amount following unsportsmanlike fouls in the Mystics-Wings game. The league is clearly sending a message that the edge has to stay within limits.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
