Caitlin Clark and the Fever took down Toronto.
Kelsey drops 29, Caitlin with 24.
Indiana picks up their fifth straight win.
With the way Kelsey and Caitlin are playing right now, is that, to you, the best duo in the W?
It's the best scoring duo in the WNBA, and I would be willing to debate that with anybody who is willing to listen or anybody who's willing to have that debate with me, 'cause Kelsey Mitchell has now had 20 consecutive 20-plus point games, that Caitlin Clark has set the, and has broken her own record for most consecutive games with 20 points, at least 20 points, and at least five assists.
If you look at the scoring leaders, the individual scoring, scoring leaders in the WNBA, well, Kelsey Mitchell's sitting at two, Caitlin Clark is sitting at three.
There are no other duos from the same team sitting in the top five.
So I, I unders- I Th- me saying that Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark are the best scoring duo in the WNBA does not mean that I think the Fever are the best team in the WNBA.
It does not mean that I think those two as individuals are individually the best players in the WNBA.
But when you just look purely at duos, and there are so many great trios in the WNBA.
You have Rhyne Howard, Allisha Gray, and Angel Reese in Atlanta, who we saw on full display last night against the Aces.
We'll get to that in just a moment.
You have a big three in Minnesota.
Obviously, you have a big three in Indiana as well.
But when you just talk about dynamic duos, dynamic scoring duos, well, Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark are two really big reasons, if not the reasons, that Indiana has the best offense in the WNBA, and is on path to having a historic offense, one of the highest scoring offense, if, if not the highest scoring offense in the history of this league.
