What happened: Mitchell's 123rd made three pushed her to a new franchise single- The record adds another benchmark to a season that has kept her among the league's most productive scorers.
Why it matters: The timing matters with the postseason here, where half-court shotmaking can decide tight possessions and series swings. It also strengthens Mitchell's MVP case as she carries historic perimeter volume into the playoffs.
By the numbers: Mitchell is now at 123 made threes after building a 25.0-point average, a league-best 45.5% mark from 3, and a 24-game 20-point streak that had already set a league record.
What to watch: The next test is whether that three-point volume holds once postseason defenses key on every touch. If it does, Mitchell's shooting remains one of the biggest swing factors in the bracket.
