Fans on Kelsey Mitchell's performance

Basketball fans reacted to Mitchell's standout performance in a game where Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston faced significant struggles:

"Easily our best player tonight. She's the only one that found a rhythm," a fan commented.

Another fan praised Mitchell's lion-hearted effort while also commenting on Clark's disappointing performance:

"Good game for KM. Caitlin Clark shot poorly, but as long as she plays well in the playoff, that is all that matters. We are already in the playoff, so use these games as a learning experience."

"Always solid. My advice weather you want it or not. Play your five starters and Weezy & Fagbenle . That’s it. If bigs get in foul trouble add Dantes! That’s it. It’s time to peak not experiment," wrote one fan.

Following their latest defeat, the Indiana Fever dropped to a 19-18 record but remained in sixth place in the league standings.
