What happened: Mitchell finished with a game-high 33 points, plus 2 rebounds and 2 assists. Her new season total stood at 1,034 points by the final horn.

Why it matters: The mark moves her past the previous league standard and gives this scoring run a place in the record book. It also adds another milestone to Mitchell's record-setting stretch at the sharp end of the season.

What to watch: The next question is how much higher Mitchell can push the record from here. Each remaining appearance now resets the top end of the league's single-season scoring list.
