Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell set a WNBA record with their third joint 30-point game, combining for 67 points in a 113-90 win in Chicago. Clark finished with 37 points and 10 assists, while Mitchell scored 30 after delivering 23 of them after halftime.
What happened
Clark and Mitchell drove the decisive third-quarter run with exceptional perimeter shooting. They combined to make seven of nine attempts from 3-point range during the surge, creating the separation that carried their backcourt to another record-setting performance.
Mitchell’s second-half production supplied a major lift, with 23 points coming after the break. Clark paired her game-high scoring total with 10 assists, combining volume offense with playmaking as the team reached 113 points.
Why it matters
The performance established a WNBA record for teammates with three games in which both scored at least 30 points. It also came after a berth in the 2026 playoffs had already been clinched, showing that Clark and Mitchell’s production continued even with postseason qualification secured.
The milestone added another marker to their historic season only five days after Clark and Mitchell set the WNBA single-season duo scoring record. Together, the achievements underscore the scale and consistency of the backcourt’s scoring output in 2026.
By the numbers
Clark and Mitchell accounted for 59.3% of the team’s 113 points, illustrating how heavily the offense flowed through the two guards. Their combined total of 67 points alone provided the clear foundation for the 23-point victory.
The pair also made 14 combined 3-pointers, generating 42 points from beyond the arc. Seven of those makes came on nine attempts during the decisive third-quarter stretch, when their shooting turned a strong night into a commanding result.
What to watch next
The backcourt returns home Aug. 28 for its next test. With a playoff berth secured and two major WNBA records added within five days, Clark and Mitchell will carry their high-scoring form into the next stage of the schedule.
