What happened: Mitchell also became only the second player in league history to surpass 1,000 points in one season. She has added four games since tying the WNBA mark at 20.
Why it matters: The dual milestones strengthen Mitchell's MVP case as the regular season approaches its close. Her scoring consistency gives her club an established lead option for the playoffs.
By the numbers: Scoring at least 20 points in each of the 24 games guarantees Mitchell produced no fewer than 480 points during the streak.
What to watch: Mitchell can extend the streak to 25 games while continuing to build her season scoring total.
