and at another guard 511 from duke number 12 Carolina she eclips her own Alissa here the standings as we head into the night well just two days ago Asia Wilson set the seed Wilson and Mitchell here out of the Olympic break as we continue and there is the head coach for the ace Beav there's Christy sides in her second SE fast this one has the potential track me aah Boston Asia Wilson in the center jump Circle and we are underway here from Indianapolis for game 38 Game season kelse see Mitchell coming off a 24-point night here is Clark can't connect on her opening three it was a rare off game for Caitlyn Clark on Wednesday just one of 10 from the three-point line and Kelsey Plum struggled a little bit too they'll catch Plum with the foul but a lot of fire power in the back court here in this matchup yeah absolutely I mean being able to stop one individual player um is extremely tough it's not it's going to take all five on the floor to do so but having that ability can really spread the floor very wide which makes it some really good offensive Tendencies bark seeing two players her Direction feeds Boston Indiana has the advantage and Boston gets the friendly roll aiyah is another one that struggled just a bit on the offensive side the defense was phenomenal um and I don't want to take away that but on the offensive side I know she wasn't too happy about it so I'm expecting big numbers here tonight for ab Chelsea Gray beautiful find inside to a cutting Wilson who lays it in say game 25 for Chelsea Gray who was not available at the start of the Season dealing with that foot injury she suffered in the WNBA finals a year ago Mitchell catch and shoot too strong on a three ball and Indiana struggled from out there on Wednesday against Las Vegas this is a fever team that shoots it among the best in the WM ba from the perimeter Wilson going to work from the perimeter to the rim goodness just looked like a broken play there a little unorthodox by the here's Clark pushing the pace Boston extra pass Smith is open and can connect on a three Indiana zero of three from out there to start the game here [Applause] tonight Ray steps into a three she can't knock it down Beaver has beaten 10 of the 11 teams in the WNBA this year Las Vegas is the only one they have not beaten they're trying to beat all their opponents for the first time since 2010 here bark shot fakes the three feeds inside to Boston for two that's bread and butter right there there's so many bodies being thrown at Clark and she's so boy so good she sees the floor so well um being able to overh help is going to be a problem so you have to be able to be strong and know exactly where everybody's at down already a pair of assists here for Caitlyn Clark she's found Boston a couple times as Plum is off the mark on a [Applause] three says she's [Music] using caliber group as well fever team has a three ball Rim [Applause] out we have Bria so rarely seen Caitlyn Clark go through a shooting slump the beginning of the Season she maybe wasn't quite at the level she has been here lately but this is really the first prolonged stretch that we've seen or have probably since May yeah I mean just a couple nights ago playing against a is she was one for 10 and uh I know that's not where she wants to be we know that she's a better shooter than that I think there was some that even looked like it was going down and came out uh but let's see exactly how she's able to respond to that adversity as a pro I've seen it uh in her college Years but being able to do as Pros is a different level and I know she's up to the talent for she leads the league in three-pointers made is gray backing in and gets the foul call see if they caught Clark or if they caught hole coming in it was going to to be on Caitlyn Clark and it is her first yeah that's tough I think um Chelsea Gray does a really good job using her size her ability her athleticism uh and really seeing where that mismatch is she's a great shooter she could put on the floor she can pass that's why she is called the point God but uh seeing and taking advantage of that download post is really going to help a tonight and greay goes one of two from the line the a have lost 13 games this year that's more than double what they did a year ago but really starting to round into form here they've won five of their last six the only game they lost in that stretch they did not have the likely MVP and Asia Wilson here's Clark handing off to Smith who hangs and draws the foul great ball movement play there still has the ability to score and get to the line so being able to kind of contort her body and just try away she's got to go through the cont attack maybe even get that am [Applause] one and she has struggled from the foul line here this season and especially lately was one of four on Wednesday this is the first here tonight and Smith splits the pair these two teams play the second and third quickest brand of basketball we really haven't seen that very much didn't see it on Wednesday this game has been kind of played in the half court here so far A little surprisingly gray Works her way inside and all sorts of defenders in the in the way for Indiana as Clark bounces ahead and Mitchell beats the pack back what a beautiful defensive possession right there by all five red jerseys they did a great job with a triple switch if you're not familiar with it is a small ends up on a big up top of the three and they end up have that communication and switching back which is beautiful which is why they were able to get that still and breakway points Smith got the credit for the steal I think it could have gone to two or three different players yeah here is Clark driving Clark gets inside and can't hit the roll but she will head to the free throw line Clark with three assists here already in the first quarter I think the way that Clark sees the game uh really separates her from the rookies that we've seen just being able to distribute the ball at such a high level with so much pressure so much uh Power so much defense in your face you have to be able to be ready to have your eyes up and I think she does that and has mastered it already fever were just 10 of 16 from the foul line against the aces on Wednesday they've opened up one of three here AR enters the night second in free throw percentage in the WNBA I think that's the first time she's missed both All Season she has been lights out from the line 91% tiany Hayes really pack the punch Off the Bench and there's the second foul on Clark and they gave her a techical and this is a similar situation to a game to be frustrated and as long as it's not an overt action at any player or official uh that she feels like that should be allowed right especially when it's directed toward yourself and your own uh you know want to do better your own passion your own Pride but being able to also stay in it mentally is huge and we're going to continue to see her grow specifically in that area she's frustrated um a little bit with herself a little bit with the refs and showing that extra emotion uh isn't bad it's just got to be timed uh maybe in a little better place but I'm not going to lie that I love it what is her six technical so the next one would result in a one game suspension so she's got to avoid getting one here at least the rest of this game and the rest of next game they're not going to suspend her for the playoffs
