Kelsey Mitchell entered Sunday's matchup against the Sun fourth in the league in scoring (19.9 points per game), fourth in made 3-pointers per game (2.4), and fifth in 3-point percentage (37.7), and her performance in the Fever's 21-point comeback may have earned her a seat at the table in the MVP discussion.
