What happened: Kelsey Mitchell recorded a 31.8 gravity score during Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Lynx, ranking among the top two scorers in the metric for the night. The AWS-powered statistic measures how much defensive attention a player draws across the floor.
Why it matters: Mitchell's perimeter presence forces defenses to remain attached, building on a season where Mitchell creates separation on perimeter isolation. This constant pressure helped Indiana secure a decisive 19-point victory over a formidable Minnesota defense.
By the numbers: The Lynx allow just 84.3 points per game and hold a 34-11 overall record, but Indiana's 97.4-point offensive average proved overwhelming in the recent 96-77 result.
What to watch: Mitchell and the Fever prepare for their upcoming postseason matchups.
