The Indiana Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell put on a show in the Fever-Lynx game on Saturday. Watching her torch her opponents with a season-high 37-point outburst drew special praise from sports commentator Jason Whitlock.

Mitchell led both teams in points and kept the Fever. While the Minnesota Lynx continued the scoring assault, Mitchell kept her team within striking distance.

"Mama, there go that woman. Kelsey Mitchell, she's a bad woman," Whitlock wrote in his post on X on Aug. 2.

Whitlock used legendary commentator and former player Mark Jackson's famous line, "Mama, there goes that man."

Mitchell went on a scoring run since the opening quarter. While the Lynx kept scoring, Mitchell came back with answers, tallying 17 points of the Fever's 33 points in the first quarter.

Of her 37 points, the Fever guard scored 23 points in the first half alone.

The Lynx saw their rookie Olivia Miles and veteran Courtney Williams combine for 55 points in the 108-100 win. Miles scored a team-high 28 points while Williams contributed with 27 points. Napheesa Collier also added 18 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists.

Mitchell's best game wasn't enough for the Fever to overcome the best team in the league. She shot 14- 21 (66.7%) from the field and 75.0% (6-8) from the 3-point line.

The Fever-Lynx game also saw the Fever star creating fresh history at the Target Center.
