Danielle Robinson’s last time out included dishing out a season-high nine assists and is also averaging 16.3 points per contest over the last three games. Tiffany Mitchell, who is four free throws away from 500 made for her career, has scored in double figures in 11 of the last 12 games, including 14 points in Atlanta. Mitchell moved into fourth in scoring in franchise history ahead of Tammy Sutton-Brown, and now has 1,671 points in an Indiana Fever jersey.
