Kelsey Mitchell is third in the WNBA in scoring, in large part to her offseason training... doing defensive back drills on a football field.

Kelsey Mitchell put on a show Sunday, leading the Indiana Fever to a 93-78 win over the Chicago Sky. She dropped 35 points in under 30 minutes, becoming the first player in Fever history to do so, while also adding six assists, three steals and shooting an incredible 7-of-10 from deep.

After a road win over the defending WNBA champions, the New York Liberty, thanks to a buzzer-beater from Rickea Jackson, the Sparks have won five in a row. They are one game out of the final playoff spot, and the win over the Liberty might have put the league on notice.

Veteran guard Kelsey Mitchell was the one to keep the Fever on track on Sunday afternoon. She had 13 points in the first quarter, matching the Sky's first-quarter total, and assisted on two other shots.

Kelsey Mitchell scored 21 points, Natasha Howard and Aliyah Boston had double-doubles, and the Indiana Fever beat the Las Vegas Aces 80-70.
