What happened: Mitchell said, "I think you just told me," when asked when she realized she had broken the WNBA single-season scoring record. The reaction came after a performance that lifted her season total to 1,034 points, 13 above the previous mark.
Why it matters: The record adds another milestone to Mitchell's run of 21 straight 20-point games and keeps the focus on one of the league's most sustained scoring surges. It also follows a three-game stretch of 32.3 points per game, giving the postseason another elite scorer carrying peak form into the bracket.
By the numbers: Mitchell raised the single-season scoring record to 1,034 points and finished 13 points clear of the old mark. Over her last three games, she averaged 32.3 points and shot 58.6% from 3.
What to watch: The next measure is whether Mitchell can keep that scoring pace once postseason defenses tighten. Any follow-up comments will likely center on how she balances the milestone with the games ahead.
