There are some records you want.
The one the Indiana Fever tied during Thursday night's loss to the Atlanta Dream does not qualify as one of those.
The Fever are now tied for the WNBA's record for most times in a season losing while scoring at least 100 points.
On Thursday night, the loss was 108-101.
It's the third time the Fever have scored at least 100 points and lost. It's taken just 15 games to get that mark.

The bad defense has been a narrative around the Fever all season.
They've previously spoken about not being able to install varied schemes yet as players work to get up to speed.
It's a bit weird, though, because very few players are different with the Fever this season from last season, and Stephanie White is still the head coach.
Regardless, it's a nightmare to be dealing with this right now. The Fever are 9-6, but if they had a better defense, they'd be really rolling.
The Dream shot 54% from the floor on Thursday night, along with 39% from 3-point range. It's going to be tough for Indiana to win games when they give up marks like that.
They'll be hoping they don't set this record outright for a while, but at this rate, it may be soon.
