Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark faced each other for the first time on a WNBA court Saturday, but it was veteran Kelsey Mitchell who seized the spotlight in the Indiana Fever's 71–70 win.
The seventh-year guard scored 18 points to lead the Fever. Surprisingly, Mitchell went scoreless in the first quarter but picked it up in the second and fourth frames, becoming more aggressive going to the basket. NaLyssa Smith added 17 points and nine rebounds for the Fever, who won their first home game of the season and second overall.
