Kelsey Mitchell made WNBA history against Arike Ogunbowale and Dallas on Thursday, but it wasn't enough to give Indiana the win. The veteran guard scored 37 points in the night's key Fever vs Wings matchup, extending her 20+ points streak to 21 consecutive games. That surpassed A'ja Wilson's previous mark for the longest run in league history.
But even Mitchell's record couldn't lift the Fever past the Wings.
