Indiana Fever vs. Los Angeles Sparks GAME HIGHLIGHTS | September 4, 2024 | CEO KANA REACTION

here in La after spending seven years all right man before we get going we got the Indiana Fever we got the Los Angeles Sparks in the building I've been telling you guys man the fever cannot take this game lightly Los Angeles Sparks they're gonna play hard they've been playing pretty well you know no Cameron Brinks obviously she had a crazy injury at the beginning of the year but you got to look at this team you gotta be like okay they got hamy they got Brinks they got rickia Jackson they got nurse they got pieces on this team this Los Angeles spk team and then they might have a pick number one pick next year this might be a very good team in the upcoming years for sure but Indiana Fever on the other hand kayin Clark with a triple double making history once again and you got Kelsey Mitchell out there you got AB with a huge night for me it was The Bigs that won this game you know Nelissa Smith she had a great night she had 13 points she's been shooting the ball very well she's been very aggressive and then earlier on they're looking for ab all day he ab ab ab establish the down low game establish the paint game you know Sparks were blitzing a lot Caitlin Clark had to get out of a lot of blitzes which is fine we expect teams to be worried about the three ball obviously it's Indiana Fever they're shooting it I think they're what fourth they're they're fourth right now in three three ball percentage I believe last time I was looking so Indiana Fever you got to step out on this team they got to step out on those High screens so they are blitzing a lot now there were turnovers I'm not going to make make it sound like this was the perfect game for the Indiana Fever this was disgusting in my opinion um and the Sparks came and brought it I think they need to start really really controlling the ball protecting the ball at home all in all they got the win but I'm not going to ignore the fact that we still have things we need to clean up especially I know we solidified the playoff spot that's great I'm happy for the fever but if they're going to go far in the playoffs it's these little things that cannot happen and uh turnovers will happen don't get me wrong when you're playing at this Pace they're blitzing turnovers will happen but we got to control and limit them we have to limit transition points we have to limit points off turnovers those are the things that are going to be important on winning a basketball game so I don't mind the turnovers they're going to happen I don't expect the fever to be perfect but we got to tighten it up a little bit there's some still there's still some layups that we're missing that we have to tighten up all in all they got the win that's all that matters you know on to the next but they got they got a big game coming up and these little things will change and and and make a difference in a game like that it's going to determine a win and a loss so one thing another thing I'm happy about is the Indiana Fever are learning how to close out ball games earlier on in the season there's plenty of games where I felt like they should have won the game they were up and then all of a sudden Midway through the third Midway through the you know third fourth quarter here we go that's that 17 16 15 20po lead just starts to go from here to here to here here to here and then it closes out and then we lose the game right now what's happening is teams are fighting and we're burning them out and we're we're getting that timely stop and we're getting that that that bucket that we need momentum to take over the game you know I'm kind of reiterating what I said earlier on in my other videos but this is a full game highlight and those who didn't get to watch it I want you guys to fully understand what's going on with the Indiana feet okay there were still some things with rotations that I personally thought could have been better but Chrissy siid decided to go with what she went with tonight I believe Caitlyn Clark played all 40 minutes which is fine you know she looked perfectly fine out there didn't look exhausted or anything so that's a good sign let's get some rest and uh get ready for the next game so let's go over the highlights and uh let's pick it apart man let's go in Connecticut a fever clinch the playoff birth last night they look to keep the good times rolling you can't let Indiana get out on a break and you can't let take by right there she has been phenomenal fast in the last seven games she has seven straight with 20 or more that is a franchise record a big lead in that category showing off the craftiness inside Ria she did all the hard stuff and one couldn't finish the easy right there Ria was talking her [ __ ] so early run the girls they're getting very hyped and um you know they they're going to bring it it's the fever the the Los Angeles parks are going to bring it you know but after maybe your first two buckets man Ria went kind of cold I was kind of excited to watch Ria and see how she's gonna do against the fever like Ria Jackson That's someone we don't really get to watch we don't really get to see her games a lot you know and um I kind of did a video maybe three weeks ago making a statement that Ria Jackson should probably be the runner up for Rookie of the Year a lot of people want to say it's Angel ree but I I I believe it's Ria Jackson and she definitely has the bigger upside so this is somebody I've been wanting you guys to watch keep an eye out for RIA Jackson she's going to be an absolute problem in this league and um it's just unfortunate that her teammate camon Brinks wasn't able to play I think this would have been a different season for the Sparks and um just very excited for the season I think RI has been doing a great job and um I I'm very excited to watch her play moving forward she did all the hard stuff and then couldn't finish the easy offense just 11 the WNBA as Odyssey Sims gets inside and finishes see they're talking you're right P you look at LA's l seven of eight but the one win is there's Boston who gets inside and lays it [Applause] in good break down right there CL gets way to go tween tween right there good breakdown good heavy tween I'm out of there CLK with thees get so that's a good move usually when a defender's on your hip like that as you saw caylin Clark had number six on her hip usually that Defender Can't Stop on a dime how six did that's very good balance and control by her but most most of the time the defender is going to be on your hip so so close on your hip moving forward the momentum is going to push right into you you're going to get the bump and one to the line every time lays it in instead of turning it over Indiana that's not something she was doing last year Mitchell shoot whistle there that's a defensive foul you can't push Katy L like that she's in position good screen ah she moved a little bit year but you can't throw her off like that catch and shoot whistle there too hit a three and let's check on where this foul is just a stunning run here from Kelsey Mitchell one of the best all time in Fever history Mitchell doing a really good job front this is one of the things that I don't like that Caitlyn Clark does she leaves her man on the island one of the best so there's not too much communication going on with wheeler I guess she pointed Caitlin Clark is looking at Mitchell she's worried about Ria Jackson Caitlyn CL Caitlin Clark's eyes are going to be on the ball that's where she she she's a she's a player she's cayen Clark wants to be involved she's gonna look at the ball she's worried about Kelsey Mitchell thinks she's gonna get beat hamy makes a great pass to a wide open guard right here on the wing Caitlyn CL Caitlin Clark's gonna bite for the pump fake and then she's wide open all time inever she's pump faking she's pump faking she's pump faking now Caitlyn Clark crashes down along with a B now look at Hami makes a great pass to the corner for a knock down three this is one thing Caitlin Clark has to stop doing it could work on some teams and some Shooters but some Shooters are going to bite Us in the ass by making that shot is just a stunning run here from Kelsey Mitchell one of the best all time in Fever history Mitchell doing a really good job not enough time to recover wide open three Donald who knocks down a three can't have that offensive foul is Indiana's eighth turnover of the quarter again who's just check again after I just talked about it I get it and it's this is a bang bang play she's going for the steal I get it this a loose ball on the floor go get the ball but again we leave our man on the island we get B bit in ass right here and I get it she's going for the ball she's going for the ball but once you see she got it get back to man go go go goell who just checked in and nurse dials up the three has made the most triples for La that's her 41st Clark stepping back on love that right there KN it down from the mid a good shot right in front of her boyfriend and Tyrese halberton right here on the sideline got to love that shot early in the in the shot clock showing me she's going for a two for one and she's very confident in that mid-range jump shot right now off of one foot back as you you can see Tyrese and her boyfriend oh I'm in the way let me show you guys real quick they right here and I love the support we're getting from the from the NBA players and obviously um you know her her boyfriend I think is in the organization right so got to love the support knocking it down from the mid-range that's a beautiful mid-range step back the Pacers playing with the fastest Pace in the in the NBA and you can say that about the Indiana Fever they play at a very fast pace one of the tops in the league certainly after the break for sure player of the month rookie of the month Clark on the bounce D is charging inside and finishing it's a great read because ke and Nur stunts at the downhill drive but Lexi Hull is in the corner and you don't want to give up a three to Hull Donald working the Baseline there's barell through traffic and a tough finish barell could hoop a little bit too I like her game a lot Mitchell lost the handle that time on the [Applause] drive good P stepping back launching and hitting a three n was going crazy too good pass oh and Smith denial but on a second finishes that's a good pass though Kelsey Mitchell or Lexi Hull behind the three-point line nurse stepping back and rattles that one home soia dude nurse was balling bro this a good move right here the three-point line that b give me that stepping back and rattles that one home soia nurse has another good one going first player into double figures here tonight she's done it Off the Bench CLK regularly seeing two there Indiana's 10th turnover here you got to move it quicker you see the blitz Caitlyn gets rid of it quickly you got to move the ball to get down and transition Hy where the ball you got to move it quicker you see the blitz Caitlyn gets rid of it quickly you got to move the ball and Hami there to make Indiana pay on the other end well for perspective Indiana's only got one more Road game left in the entire season just we just can't have certain passes like that that behind the back pass we got to clean it up I know that's what your go-to is but we got clean it up we can't have it yes it gets through sometimes but let's make the simple pass let's go for the layup let's get two points or get to the line here so far and then it leads to a transition Point have to execute in the quarter court and now La is starting to make shots and they're getting back in transition fight for position in the paint Mitchell trying to get this Indiana offense kick started that'll help kelse m he's got 9 threes on the season and Stevens answers with a three as big shots today there gone the blitz good pass Clark good Boston with deep position lays it in going have work that going back to carry high and get some shots up here's azire again oh doing her best Debbie Antonelli on azer backto back triple she's a 35% three-point shooter coach of the Connecticut Sun been former coach of the year and executive of the year in this and he loves coming back to the state of Indiana where he has a home he's a longtime college coach at Bowling Green and at Indiana really good bounce that's good defense Sims able to flip that one in allow me in there it's always a learning laboratory when you're in the gym with these coaches in the W because right there their schemes and it was really fun to be in another team's practice in the leag here's barell fighting inside and getting the roll bench has 21 of their 44 points good cut come on man another thing with AB she's becoming a point guard herself look at these passes from Ab again what do we talk about oh bro all it takes is Kelsey Mitchell to do a jab step to the left Defender bite whoever's whoever's the high guard up top that's a back door all day look how much space we have in this Lane look how much space because ab's out here her being the center all Katie has to do she has to slide a little bit more this is a wide open layup every time we're gonna go back door on you every time because you're gonna bite because I'm so fast you don't know where I'm going and I'm such a threat to make a three you're going to try to come bite this every time 44 points back door cut it's Mitchell and that play has worked Sims off the screen drive it into Sam denied what a tremendous defensive K Sams on the switch using her length not fouling KN clock down to seven Jackson trying to create driving on samelson shot Off the Mark there's Hami right place right time he play some good defense today off that bronze medal in the three on three in the [Applause] Olympics and looking inside here is Jackson has the size advantage on Wheeler and Jackson knocks it down stroke and she lets the game come to her I've never seen her push or Force anything they're ready to Blitz in the W when the game slows down and you're a rookie that's one of my favorite passes from uh Kay clar to AB the little around the around the guard around the Defenders oh I'm G slip that right through there every time clar beautiful find to a cutting Boston for this fever offense for Caitlyn Clark as Indiana's offense has exploded here out of the Olympic break Smith going oneon-one attacking Hami and winning the battle Indiana knows all day they're they're all willing passers out of that play here Ste ling up a triple and a Stevens is knocked down three from out there three triples a shoot till your arm falls off as Boston now with 14 and eight he's finding some room to work down there and on the other end Sims continues to stay aggressive Sims has 12 and Boston can't finish underneath Mitchell has the offensive rebound for Indiana Mitchell staying aggressive up in to the right hand Kelsey Mitchell n Drive it on Clark feeds it back for Hami hamy with a crossover Drive Smith leaves a shot short defense defense there by Nissa Smith AR with n points seven assists here so far crossing over space way too much space all she needs is a little bit that's all she needs Clark being watched by nurse Clark on the drive Clark hangs and S no swiping make her pay for it CC yeah make her pay for it she snakes behind it then she creates this mismatch for azer Stevens it's a really well-designed play by Kurt Mard and Indiana likes I don't want to see the complaining Kaitlin I don't want to see it I don't want to see it I don't want to see it I don't want to see it I don't want to see it welld designed play by Kurt Mard in Indiana like to ice those ball screens on the side of three triples Clark trying to answer you bet light it up as they keeps saying next possession Caitlyn next possession I don't want to see it next possession that's how good you guys are forget what just happened go get the bucket back look at the mismatch inside Yu is being guarded by Mitchell and Clark and barell knocks down and we're back to a point R here so far tonight and his offense has been a little out of sink at times good pass finish McDonald connect on that Smith with the rebound look at Smith look at Smith out there I love that little reverse spin for Smith that's all day and Smith gets it to go that's all day so tough what she has done has been exactly what we need of herel barell catch and shoot who way too strong but the bank is open we needen stops on the defensive end and and one we cannot have these are certain things we cannot have going into the playoffs we cannot have miscommunication we cannot have miscommunication stops on the defensive end and they lost Hami and and one and be attacking Boston spin mov floats it up gets it to go bucket and that's a good bucket right there and the attacking Boston spin move floats it up gets it to go these foul good Buck itell cut off there by Boston Hami sent back Nelissa Smith closes the inside for Hami sent [Applause] back SMI you I mean k you can push her don't be scared to push her Nowell cut off there there by Boston inside for Hami sent back Nelissa Smith closes the door at The Rim that is Clark's ninth rebound she's an assist in we cannot turns it over her pockets and Sims lays it in with a foul call timeout and Advance the ball Austin shot clock down to three drives their way inside muscles to the rim that's what I want to see at of ab use that body and get to the godam can score the ball Austin shot clock down to three drives her way inside muscles to the rim it's all day kelse that's all day triple dub for cc is what happen CC in the building Rookie of the Year rookie of the month call it what you want I said it there you have it man Indiana fever Los Angeles Sparks that was a good fight by the Sparks man they showed love this is a high-scoring game for the Sparks too 86 points not bad fever doing what they did it's not an ugly uh I mean it's it's a very ugly win to me you could call it what you want I I think we have some things we got to improve on very happy on the win streak that's going on with the fever but we got some things to improve on man this team has so much potential they just have small things take care of the ball limit transition offense for the opposite team there's a couple other things man um defensive communication and then we're just missing too many small little layups that I think that a fever the fever can do better with that's all besides that it was a great game very entertaining um we were live man we had some issues with the live but we all we made it work besides that it's your boy C I'll be back with some more videos I'll catch you on the next one they got a big big game off Friday actually there's a huge slate on Friday it's a big big slate on Friday so you know we'll be live for that I'll catch you on the next one y
