Kelsey Mitchell has become the perfect backcourt running mate with Caitlin Clark, and the two guards have led the Indiana Fever’s resurgence since the Olympic break. With Mitchell scoring over 20 points in all seven games post-break, the team has won six of seven matches and is currently over .500 for the first time since June 13, 2019. This turnaround has earned them a spot in the playoffs, setting a new record after going 189 straight games without a winning record, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Indiana clinched its first playoff appearance since 2016 following Tuesday night’s losses by Chicago and Atlanta. The Fever currently hold the sixth spot in the standings, showing significant improvement in their performance.

Kelsey Mitchell, who has been with the team since 2018, has been a key player in this resurgence. This season, she is averaging 19 points per game, a personal best compared to her previous seasons’ averages. Mitchell’s partnership with Clark has been instrumental in the team’s success, with both guards complementing each other’s playing style perfectly.

The Fever’s up-tempo playing style, led by Mitchell and Clark, has set them apart from other teams in the league. Their chemistry on the court and ability to dictate the pace of the game has been a key factor in their recent victories.

Looking ahead, the Fever have six consecutive home games lined up, providing them with an opportunity to solidify their spot in the playoffs. With the team’s current form, fans can expect an exciting finish to the regular season.

In the latest AP WNBA power poll, the Fever have moved up to fifth place, reflecting their impressive performances in recent games. This upward trajectory is a testament to the team’s hard work and determination.
