What happened: Mitchell scored at least 20 points again after the run reached 17 games on Aug. 13. She has now added five qualifying performances since tying the previous mark at 13.
Why it matters: The scoring run gives Mitchell sole possession of the WNBA's single-season benchmark. Every remaining appearance offers another chance to push the record further.
By the numbers: Mitchell's streak grew from 13 games on Aug. 1 to 18 on Aug. 15, an increase of five qualifying games in two weeks.
What to watch: Her next appearance will determine whether the streak reaches 19 games.
