Overview

  • Kelsey Mitchell broke the single-season 3-point mark in Indiana’s regular-season finale on Thursday by finishing with 135 made 3-pointers.
  • She hit the record-breaking shots in the second quarter of the loss to Minnesota and finished that game with 10 points in 22 minutes.
  • The Fever lost the finale 86-66 but end the regular season 28-16 and will enter the playoffs as the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference.
  • The 3-point record changed hands quickly this month after Rhyne Howard surpassed Sabrina Ionescu’s previous mark; Howard reached 134 before Mitchell topped her.
  • Mitchell’s record builds on a season of sustained scoring, including a 1,000-plus point total and a long run of 20-plus point games that positioned her to chase both scoring and 3-point marks.
