going to renew our our officials here [Applause] today ree finding cardoso puts it back too hard off the backboard still gets it she's got those soft hands and she puts it back just like that and that's going to be really important for cardoso and the Chicago sky here today Teresa weather SP told us before the game we need to get back to the inside outside game where they coming off of a Los against the mystics they want to clean some things up Caitlyn Clark's first shot she drives penitence hits it right side and Clark coming off a seven-point performance in a win against Atlanta the last game that the Indiana Fever played has had trouble shooting the basketball the last couple of games consistently May BR inside and another two for Chicago good ball movement there for Chicago but you're right and and you know Caitlyn Clark still continuing to maintain her confidence and you said it has had a little practice time this is a fever team that opened up 11 games in the first 20 days of the seon just wasn't an option n seconds on the shot clock the fever will take it from the Baseline let's go back to their first bucket good to see Clark getting to the rim and really being aggressive to start the game her because she is being covered a lot for her three good entry pass and a post speed Aaliyah Boston who's coming off a 27o performance against Atlanta that had tied her career high she's hot yeah she had a monster game and she's starting to feel a little bit more comfortable struggled the first few games of the Season ay penetrating taking Chrissy Wallace off the bouns tough coverage defensively here for the fever as Clark brings it across handling the ball here you I'll say so I mean coming into today five straight double doubles only a few WNBA rookies have done that in the history of the lead that's how good Angel Reese has been Boston gets another touch it blows past the sky defense you see how Clark kept her dribble alive there that was important on the pick and roll and she was able to find Aaliyah Boston roll into the rim those two have good chemistry right now Avery leans in mid-range choer is pure that could get her confidence going she only coming off a season low fivepoint game against Washington T telling us she's just overthinking she just needs to stroke it KY Mitchell tries Scoops scores well there's no one quicker Mitchell had a team High 18 points in that first meeting against Chicago cardoso gets another touch ofo the double [Applause] team fever will reset 14 seconds on the shot clock IND coming in with a 4- 10 overall record the sky 4 and eight Boston penetrating cardoso gets it from behind the Old South Carolina teammates duking it out and before the game there's some tips being given about each other get it inside you know cardoso is going to get some touches too all seven shots have come from two players and that's one of themy and cardoso gets blocked by Boston returning the favor back the other side and this is where Chicago's tough Lisa first attempt for Reese rims out but she gets it right back she is the best offensive rebounder in the league and Christy sides told us we have got to find a body on Reese Clark gets freed up from up top she opens up two for two confidence Builder she's going to find her Rhythm and get those shots and this crowd is really behind them Allen between the legs lost and it's off Allen last first turn for either team and Clark penetrating opens up three for three with a quick seven points see her ability to space the floor is what opens up for penetration game we've seen the physicality between them and and both coaches told us that that's the past right now they know they've got focused on themselves and fine-tuning their skills but yeah you got to be ready for some bumps and bruises in this league for sure I love seeing a rivalry renewed too as well as re go P fake they close her out on the Baseline I mean sky and fever a few years ago when you've got Lind d as the head coach Pokey Chapman as the head coach it was fast and furious then blocked by Smith and you just Sky have a clear offensive rebound an advantage right now misom miscommunication between Reese and mabery and here's Kelsey Mitchell a oneperson break sometimes the sky are the best in the league at the old glass I mean that is how they manufacture extra points Smith that's her first two Smith is such a tough player I I think she's so Overlook too with all the talk in this team she's another player and Kennedy Carter's first points we had talked to Teresa Weatherspoon about Kennedy Carter handling the emotion of returning back to Indianapolis much was made about her shoulder check on Caitlin Clark in the first yeah I mean and she said we've discussed it and it's in the past she gets it fast break points May finishes it [Applause] off ay now with a quick six points half of the sky total here so far Mitchell against Carter the Chicago SC and Kelsey Mitchell oh ribs out but you like the idea Indiana Dana Evans checks in now she's a son coming off the bench and she hits her first shot yeah and that was a decision that TPO felt was just a matchup thing and Evans is so good hold it well and taking it sson with her first shot she's kind of feeling those birthday Vibes a little bit happy birthday right good ball [Applause] movement celebrated her birthday in her last game against Atlanta Angel Reese with a [Applause] bucket that rever for a while that's right Sam again she walked with it she has eyes in the back of her head it's not just her offense it's her ability to see the game Carter penetrates well she has been like a microwave coming off the bench for the sky but starting in her first game this season Carter's lightning quick and talk about the physic coming off the bench and in her four years remember she finished third in the sixth player voting last year back in that role this year and that's that takes a lot to be a spark Kennedy Conner picks the pocket or picks off the pass and lays it in for two and the sky they started shooting this game for 14 but they've been a perfect six for six in their last few tries wheeler off the patch for her first bucket see that's because there was a gamble there defensively and you got to be so careful to pick your your poison pick your spots with gambling good ball Movement by the sky Reese up against aah Boston who gets her Reese is calling for her foul she won't get it and here come the fever Boston has gotten cardoso once and now Reese a couple times that Boston has such long arms she has really good timing with her block shots [Applause] Wallace high off the glass Aaliyah Boston offensive rebound it really looks good they're starting to come together they started out shaky and and they come strong Angel res out of the game here for the Chicago Sky Carter penetrating you know there's speed and then there's Kennedy Carter speed yeah I think she can continue to do that every time she gets the ball and and this is where they can really pick Indiana part as going downhill penetrating A lot's going to happen out of that that's what he look Falls Lex ho who shoots about 36% from the season knocks down the first one Indiana is getting those shots because of their ball movement on the offensive end they're three of four from Three diamond the shields now coming off the bench cardoso KS it to herself finds Evans and she pulls the trigger down there Erica wheeler one of the veterans here for the Indiana Fever we tied at 23 and Wheeler misses aay [Applause] it Izzy Harrison gets her own Miss and puts it back out the bucket and an one and that's a really nice post up from Harrison initially lengthy player Izzy Harrison's going to get more minutes Elizabeth Williams out indefinitely with a meniscus in the starting center for the Chicago Sky there she is in Street close and doing her best to be a good teammate in that role but Harrison will get more minutes cardoso and Reese we've talked about the top they'll get added minutes bana Turner could get added [Music] minutes 1 second to shoot Clark I don't think Clark or the fever knew it I don't think so either together remember last year this was the youngest team in the league and they're still really youngone Caitlyn Clark has played the entire first quarter for the Indiana Fever with her seven points that by the way matches her entire total of the last game against Atlanta when she had seven closes out on the mayy shot attempt and Clark then the fever so that's what happens when you get extra chances and that was a key moving into this game Christy sign said we've got to not allow so many overs the sky took 11 more shot attempts in that first quarter than the fever did that's huge and a good dose of that offensive rebounding you heard mayy talk about it these two rookies cardoso and reys who defended Boston nicely what a match up between those two and she did she did a nice job just not fouling got to just move your feet and contain so Clark starting on the bench to begin the second quarter Angel Rees still out of the game for the Chicago Sky six now to shoot Dana Evans takes a peak a little bit of contact tosses it up this is where you need a six7 player like cardoso as a big Target throw it up or a quick trigger by mayy and beats the shot clock from the Baseline she doesn't need much time that's for sure that'll work bbery a really hot start eight points eight of the first 28 for the sky Mitchell from up top from anywhere on the floor she's been on a team where she has had struggling offensive players and she's really been their franchise leader second all time leading score in Fever history Mitchell is and Harrison get win that challenge yeah I thought she would win it as [Applause] well so no more challenges available for the Indiana of fever if they had won they would get one more challenge left for the rest of the game Harrison gets wed up stays with and a jump off this front Court by the the offense and their offense is starting to flow but it's the communication defensively and that ability moving forward that's going to determine a lot of their success ball goes into the hands of Boston the fever had three straight defensive stops against the Atlanta Dream in their last game and really something that they were celebrating something to build on Harrison one and done on that fever possession Harrison gets the rebound and a lot of the defense is trust and that takes time and that's a nice pass there into a cardoo you see she's going to get the [Music] touches 14 baskets for Chicago 10 coming in the [Applause] [Music] paint Boston Turning against cardoso they work it around to samels in that high aring she's two for two for the fever see when Boston catches the ball she knows when to kick it out and I think that's been creating opportunities for her teammates to knock down shots Samson is a great addition to his team another Flor spacer along with Clark offensive foul against Izzy Harrison well the first quarter she had no points and one shot attempt Carter good defense on [Applause] Mitchell sky with [Applause] opportunity re back in and this posted up Allen in trouble into the hands of Carter fades it back cardoso another offensive rebound and put back you're seeing what cardoso is very capable of this is her wheelhouse she's going to get the garbage baskets because of her ability to offensive rebound really great nose for the ball you got to put a body on it an 11-2 Second Chance Point Advantage for the sky here goes Smith challenging Reese talking to us pregame about execution playing Through The Bigs that's got to be a Str for this guy absolutely and that's why they're continuing to get the touches in the paint a the best three point shooter Sky struggle from shooting the three this year the third worst three-point field goal percentage of the [Applause] Season Clark steps it back to her left Smith battling for takes the contact count it the foul to C boy that was something to watch Melissa Smith six points four rebounds three for three from the field can't get the free throw though a little bit of chaos off the free throw Miss SC to retain [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] possession seventh time of the ball game locked at 32 Carter behind the back cardoso nearly another offensive rebound Mitchell triples into that three attempts it's good and you know that's Mitchell when she can get out and run the three ball Falls for her when the defense is scrambling that's where Indiana can take advantage in the transition game per from three for the season they're at 71% in the first half and he head back the other way IND on a seven nothing run Smith looking to add to it [Applause] Talen post speed and a push on the post defense there on the Block against Nelissa Smith defending Angel Reese I I do like the way these two teams match up you know when you when you look at the teams in the W these two teams have the typical post players that match up well and then some good guards that's why I think you see such a competitive game between these two teams too APR this time trying to post up against Lexi Hall pull up angel Reese snatches it out of the air puts it back body bad and Reese blowing a kiss to the crowd she stays who she is doesn't she love it and a moving skirt that's on Smith Diamond to Shields you're going to get some contact when you decide to penetrate and Diamond letting them know that she's frustrated with a new foul call on that penetration but a really nice play and we know Diamond Shields is so capable of getting to the rim whenever she wants and the th the shot [Applause] it ended up benefiting her if she made it did just looking maybe for some more she'll penetrate again off the glass two point for the sky mitell behind the back between the legs Carter now picks her up two quick players playing with a heavy heart here on Father's Day just recently lost her father Mark first basketball season that she has played without her dad on the sidelines watch it yeah that's hard that's really hard 10 points though for Mitchell here today cardoso gets wrapped up by Boston those two South Carolina players are something they play hard Clark had a quick seven points and that's gone cold Mitchell misses that shot Diamond to Shields pulls up short here's Wallace to a cut in Boston the guy forgot about her that's where Boston is so tough I mean she's a post player but you can throw it to her while she is streaking she's got the ability to put it on the floor in it's championship in 2021 canas Parker returning back to Chicago land where she grew up recently announced her retirement I was hoping she'd play Forever me too I thought maybe she'd have maybe one more year Samuelson is whistled for the foul that'll be number two on samelson let's take a look at the upcoming WNBA National TV schedule here coming up you look at Connecticut and Vegas that should be an interesting one yeah I mean that's that's certainly got to be circled on your calendar I mean obviously Connecticut's been extremely tough and Vegas I'll be on the LA New York game coming up but a lot of good games here we saw New York just beat Las Vegas a couple days ago from more on these please go to wnba.com or visit the WNBA [Applause] app Clark directing traffic inside two and a half left to play here in the first half see Angel Reese's numbers 9.7 rebounds maybe another double double for her here today Clark getting wrapped up Dana EV physical defensively and she's whistled for her second and she's known for that ability to defend and they've got her on and you know that was interesting when we talked to Caitlyn Clark she did say that one of the things that she highlighted that was different from the college game is the quickness specifically the quickness of the players that she is playing against that are guarding her look at Dana Evans and that quickness th get another chance at it off of the Samson Miss Wallace for three from the corner one of the rare three-point misses here for this fever team now shooting 50% from three and they're getting the opportunities and they've been hot they've got to continue to take them when they have [Applause] them Rees doesn't have a Point make in her WNBA career yet won't P the tricker there and Dana Evans will though her second of the day and a nice decision from Reese to kick it out to Evan she saw she had her her open in the corner of her eye and she knocked it down Caitlyn Clark scoreless since 551 left in the first quarter and she post speeds aah Bon they're building their chemistry they are she said that that's been taking place lately and that's a really good sign for this team because the two of them have to work well together now three assists for Clark Boston has eight points CL knows if she's covered she's going to find someone EV with the floater we'll take a few of those for the sky here's Mitchell on the push airball ready coming up all stars that's right different kind of Summer of course there'll be a break to the season with the Olympics underway Karina mayy off the mark Clark scoreless this [Applause] quarter trying to find some space goes reverse style the first bucket since 551 in the first see how she maintained her dribble there she didn't get too sped up stayed with the basketball and got a really nice reverse layup she's got nine points ay from up top off the Harrison scre it's like a foul away from the basketball and that's the kind of stuff that she's got to continue to reinvent with herself we know she's generating Second Chance opportunities here for the Scout right right and they're they're tracking down the ball really well and that's what's such a key and what they're doing what they're doing every single possession Boston gets the first touch of the third quarter solid move for the last year's WNBA key of the [Music] Year Lindsay Allen Kennedy Carter in the starting spot again here in the third quarter the first time that they've started this year for the Chicago Sky back door cut for M ma is continuing to move without the basketball she really started out this game hot and now I think she's starting to move a little bit more and activity is going to get her open looks She's got 10 points the leading score for the sky here so far we talked about played the entire first quarter had seven points in that quarter nine points in the first half Smith gets blocked Boston misses [Applause] everything Carter in an out triple tries to back down MIT might have got away with a walk there Breeze to Bab Brie her first three-pointer of the game and she's got 13 yeah and you know when mayy gets hot she get hot in a hurry if she gets those opportunities from distance back door Baseline cut Mitchell gets it the assist to B that's a beautiful cut I mean if you're overplayed that's what you've got to do and Mitchell knew it and she's so quick Kennedy Carter trying to find a seam and gets wrapped up mitell helps her up now can Kennedy Carter continue to do that she did a lot of that in the first quarter she's got to keep doing that and with Carter she had to sit out had the three personal fouls in the first half now as a starter here today Carter on the left side transition points here for the sky what a start to the third for Chicago yeah I think Carter creates a mismatch for almost every team in the league but especially here against Indiana they just can't stay with her Sky missed a shot this quarter perfect four for four and they're outscoring the fever 9 to four Clark's first look at the [Applause] [Music] third bring the mayy another one back to back and that's a miscue and you've got to be there on the catch with M she does not need much time to get that championship games you saw the picture of Rees and cardoso the connection to high school C played for Hamilton Heights Christian Academy in Tennessee an angel for St fr is a Marland and a hook against Angel ree her second lot of questions about her shoes got Barbie shoes sportting the choker shoes here today 4 seconds to shoot here for the fever Smith back into it she's got eight points in the game yeah she picked up those three quick fouls in the first half we didn't see her after that so good to see her back on the floor [Applause] they the Post Feed to Reese backing down Smith gets her own Miss puts it back how on another time it'll stay here Chicago Sky basketball Tiffany Blackman what's the story behind these Joker shoes going to be drops them off sometimes at 5 a.m. in the morning she says she's open to ideas from other people if they want to do anything Tiffany diing for the good stuff I need a shoe guy I to you better shoot G does she ever say I don't like these I'm not wearing them today I can't see her saying that transition left Mitchell the feed from [Applause] [Music] Wallace now the fever have responded after a good start by the sky here at the third Carter off the pounce the blow bot I think they're going to continue to go to Carter because that is what has been exposing the defense for Indiana laterally they're just not staying with Carter one-on-one and we heard Christy s talk about that with Tiffany in the half Lindsay Allen steps in the way of that pass goes up against Caitlyn Clark who lets her go misses a land and Carter whistle for the foul against Clark [Music] looks like might be sending Dana Evans to check her out penetrating [Applause] Baseline love that interaction between Teresa Weatherspoon talking to Kennedy Carter they got a keep her in the game here somehow in and out squeezes out for Clark you're more used to be on the floor is probably what she said can't get it Clark with the basketball nine total points in the game sets it back from three knocks it down Caitlyn Clark second deep shot nice job there just creating her own shot off the dribble little step back needs that space she's calm she's not getting flustered 12 points in the game Allen gets blocked fever looking for numbers Clark to Wallace back to Clark shovel pass busted look at that multiple players touching the basketball unselfish play Clark demands so much attention she makes the extra pass now the two R for the fever and two and a half in counting mayy has had the hot hand in the third quarter as she's finding her Rhythm from all over the floor Clark penetrating a quick five points yeah that's a good job she's being overplayed and Clark's got good ball handling skills she's able to take Lindsay Allen off the B bounce there Ree going against Smith who gets her Smith with her second block into the corner for Wallace can't get the bounce aah Boston challenges cardoso who picks up her second personal I know noce you know you translate well why is Caitlyn Clark still love for a college award that's how quickly the season changes when you you play your final game of your college career you transition into your pro career in the WNBA right and a know a lot of talk about the Olympics and her not making it now listen I would have loved to see her make it and have the experience because you never know in terms of injuries if you're going to we mentioned that the half but you you'd hope that she stays healthy if she can make it in four years but on the flip side she gets the rest she gets a break hasn't rested since College you just said it it's been a tough puling grind none of these rookies have Angel Rees camil cardoso the other rookies who have made it into the WNBA here this year that's just the way it goes year in and year out Dana Evans taking the has come in and she is such a spark plug when she's coming off the bench I like her coming off the bench she seems to be more comfortable today in that role you know she had two career starts coming into this year where she had started the first 12 games as a starter for the sky she was up for six player of the year last year I mentioned that she finished third in the voting last season Clark Hammer three Sky players coming over and tell the official is pointing to this to his head here and I think they're going to look at this [Applause] first trip there today she gets one more [Music] [Applause] [Music] Mar to Smith see some daylight into the lane can't finish it Lissa Smith averages about 11 points per game she's at eight here in the [Applause] game Harrison turns draws the foul against Samuelson her third and Harrison who you know is continuing to like you said get more minutes here with no Elizabeth Williams and they're going to call it if if you catch it and you take it and you're aggressive we've seen that here what are this guy losing without their starting center Elizabeth Williams out with the Tor miniscus she is going to have to have surgery she was at the time of the injury seventh in the WNBA in terms of block shots fifth in terms of offensive rebounds and by the way you can't replace the leadership the calmness the composure that she provides to some of the young players while playing on the court yeah she's a huge loss you know another post player that teaspoon has in her pocket it's incredible how many good post she's got on this [Applause] team seven to shoot re again with the B against cor yeah me that's consistent that's the right call it's a hand back when you are dribbling when you're dribbling face up you know meaning front to the basket they call the hand checks it's now four personal fouls three come in this quarter for but a textbook hand check call there it's not like when you have your back to the basket when you're a post player you can put the the check out but you can't there perfect four for four from the free throw line and just like that she's accumulated 18 [Applause] points inside two minutes left to play in the third quarter and a traveling viation fever have gotten 11 points off turnovers in this game cardoso tips it [Applause] away I do think the sky have handled the atmosphere really well they have just you feel these M which could be huge momentum shifts for the fever to sellout building and they're responding finding her Niche Allan steps in the passing Lane takes it in for the lane good Anticipation by Allan you saw she's just reading eyes reading passing Lanes you got to use the pass fakes a lot when she's [Applause] around two-point G Boston against cardosa tosses it away backto back turnovers now for the fever a minute and some change left in the corner Harrison in trouble blocked with it again and she she's saying that she's not walking but she is dragging her P foot I don't think she's realizing she's got a long stride but the possession before they called the travel on her and I thought she did walk in the Pro game you get a two count it's different than the college game but you're right I feel like she kept her p and foot down there and there's a walking violation back the other way so I talk about a one-w count that's talking about steps you get a onew in the pros if you progress to three it's right [Applause] right Clark's got three turnovers [Applause] todaya on has checked in for the first time for the Scout Evans was looking for but a reaching foul in the fever Leah Boston's first re still sitting on the bench well they're calling it both ends of the floor here pretty tight four personal fouls for ree well five times this season Angel ree has gotten the five fouls hasn't fouled out in the game yet may bring In and Out close differential here between shot clock and game [Applause] clock pocket pass for Boston somehow gets rid of it to final few seconds of the corner Evans has B Clark breaks it up good hands from Mark just preventing a potential three-point play there to end the quarter 610 left in the corter Evans from the sideline feeding cardoso puts it up that could have as starters here today and it'll be those five starters who open up the fourth quarter for the Chicago [Applause] Sky same five starters for the fever to open up the fourth as well Reese having a tough time with Smith Angel Reese in the third no points missed all four of her shots and picked up the three [Music] [Applause] [Music] personals H penetrates left side had a straight away Lane to the bucket that's going to happen for H ho somebody that's going to really benefit from the smothering of Kingland and Boston she's going to find some [Applause] [Music] openings ay was fantastic in the third quarter for the sky at 10 points and didn't miss a shot but she misses her first shot of the fourth Reese with another rebound and one point off of her six straight double double she's got 12 rebounds to go with her nine points today chap step against Smith can't get it she's having some trouble on Smith Smith just bodying and and maintaining position and see that's what you're going to see happen on the money pass CGH to Boston you see Indiana is in attack mode they want to try to get it inside CL got six assists [Applause] to go with their 18 points pass deflected by Clark Carter chases it down floats it in and out and Reese and loose ball foul Reese might have just picked up her fifth she did yeah Angel Reese has five personals that was the only question mark as to whether or not TPO should have started or not this cardoso tips it away Boston turns and faces Mitchell three-pointer on the [Applause] [Music] way Carter takes the contact count the buck that's what Chicago was missing when Carter was out with foul trouble too is her offense her explodes the ball first start of the Season Carter 17 points as she's put up angel Reese back on the bench question is how long do you keep her there s and a half to play in the corner fever with a 72- 69 [Applause] [Music] lead Mitchell no look it to Smith cardoso that came down on it and another foul and that time card him with a shoulder injury SMI knocks in the first she's got some kind of sleeve on there that she's trying to get used to as well which teaspoon said that as well as the conditioning has been a factor so this is a 13th game for the sky but just the seventh game for cardosa and Smith and double figures four fever players and double figures [Music] [Applause] they close it out on VY not giving her anything on the penetration seven to shoot cardoso tried the post Fe four to shoot mayy has to put it up nothing but n May's the one you want with the ball in her hands at the end of the shot clock 20 points for Marina maery coming this half Smith takes the contact against Harrison and the flex she's been tough really been assertive this corner second personal to Harrison third team foul for the sky in this quarter oh with Angel Reese on the bench sitting with five personal fouls again the clock is ticking Allen nearly loses it Carter comes up with it whips the pass to mayy gets the friendly bounce bbery is so efficient when she puts it up you think it's going in and me most of the time it is good hustle from Chicago there they have really stayed in this game just when you think Indiana was going to pull [Applause] away said it has helped her tremendously in her game and Trust her one-on-one abilities too and being able to hit shots guys good stuff she's needed a game like this her last four shooting 29% from gets blocked by Clark and you know it's tough is that she was really their only shooter Samson Clark's got 14 blocks in her WNBA career and it ends with a Boston bucket momentum I can see why she's putting her in now she sat 2 minutes 37 [Applause] seconds hand off the [Applause] Carter trying to find daylight and Smith with another rebound 13 points seven rebounds for Nelissa Smith now expect to see them go at re get it to Nelissa Smith here Clark no points this quarter but she does have two assists Smith up against re they're going to test her they go right at her yeah she can't cover her the way that she would typically cover her did a great job staying straight up really nice defensive play there remember she hasn't fouled out of a game in her WNBA career [Applause] yet 16 seconds on the shot clock Evans for three knocks it down she has come alive Off the Bench wow that was pretty deep and not an easy shot she just pulled up with confidence 12 points for Evans and three of four from three she is savoring this spot as a Super Sub here today six to shoot Mitchell driving gets it the drop yeah that's what Kelsey Mitchell has been able to do throughout this game she finds a way to get into the teeth of the defense just about at her average now she's at 16 points Evans once again can't get it fighting for the loose ball fever come down with it Clark up ahead to mitell tough pass to handle just a little bit of a forced pass of course Clark was doing pretty well there trouble three turn offers for Clark [Applause] m in and out tight rims for the sky so two of the rookies we have our eyes on clar and re spess both of them scoreless this quarter Clark penetrating finding Boston all kinds of traffic mbery on the Move here's Carter so good in the fast break have a 10 nothing advantage in the paint in the four quarter and also you were noticing the rebounding Edge and the fever are kind of evening that up in that category Clos the Gap I think that's been really pivital because the sky were out rebounding Indiana in the first half by a landslide so a good job from Indiana just rebounding better both offensively and defensively cardoso commits her fourth personal and 310 left to play in this one Indiana at least in the fourth quarter an 8 to3 rebounding Advantage Clark PS fires hits for AER to her [Music] left she needed that one that ties the largest lead of the game at plus seven Sky got to look for a [Applause] response re speeding Carter who gets knocked in the face by Mitchell for both teams in the bonus next team foul will send them to the free throw [Music] L conditioning from the first game when she debuted on this floor on June 1st getting a feel for what this play is like what the pro level is like and an emphasis on trying to get her the basketball today yeah they said she's going to get the ball and she draws attention and she's really good at passing out of that attention out of the turnover Here Comes Evans sky looking to make a push and a comeback cardoso there's your touch and there's your Brook and that came from Reese you notice at the top of the key she had a really nice angle used the bounce pass which was the perfect placement of the pass into cardoso a double double for cardoso 10 points 10 rebounds and a career high in rebounds first career double double of her WNBA career Smith whistled for the no Caitlyn Clark with a push off yeah she does push off and the fever have committed five turnovers in this [Applause] quarter mayy penetrating off the glass mitel [Applause] Clark being defended by Carter Post Feed Boston oh P the clock W the shot clock sat at zero here comes three splitting the difference equally of a tough shot her first points of the second half wow what a sequence of plays here Lisa some toughness we're seeing in the lane Boston again gets her own miss someone for about Smith someone forgot about Smith the fever make the sky pay reiterate here is a WNBA rule this year one of the new rules created but an added Advantage for these coaches and also for offense to advance it do the sky need a three here I say if you have it you take it if you're if you're a three-point shooter you take it but you can take a two here and then foul immediately he doesn't have to be but you got to [Applause] move mbery takes the three short and Clark with another rebound 21 points eight rebounds nine assists and Dana Evans is forced to stop the clock with 18.7 seconds fever in the bonus Clark will get free [Applause] throws I mean I
