Caitlyn Clark Reflects on Her Chemistry with Kelsey Mitchell After Historic Performance in Indiana’s Victory Over Dallas
In a thrilling matchup against the Dallas Wings, Indiana Fever claimed a narrow 110-109 victory in their final home game of the regular season. Rookie sensation Caitlyn Clark made history by becoming the all-time leading scorer for a WNBA rookie, also setting records for the most points and assists by a first-year player.
Despite the spotlight being on her, Clark was quick to credit Indiana’s veteran guard, Kelsey Mitchell, for her continued support and outstanding performance. “She makes my life easier out there,” Clark said, praising their chemistry on the court. “It’s hard to pick and choose, it puts the defense in a really tough spot. We’ve grown a lot since the start of the season, and I’m really proud of her.”
Clark’s remarkable showing included 35 points, 8 assists, and 2 rebounds, while Mitchell added 30 points and 1 assist. The duo’s dynamic partnership has made Indiana’s backcourt one of the most dangerous in the WNBA, keeping the team in title contention for the first time since 2016.
Heading into their last regular season game against the Washington Mystics, Indiana stands strong at 20-9, currently holding the 6th spot in the WNBA standings. With Clark and Mitchell leading the charge, the Fever are poised to make a deep run in the postseason.
