the F these two are having Asia Wilson's going to likely presented by your Central Indiana Ford dealers here coming out of the Olympic break and we are do it again on Friday after this one as Mitchell drives gets to the rim and gets the to be able to get that switch here's Kelsea Plum stepping into a three and missing and a timeout 36 seconds in continues to sizzle now over 70% from three out of the Olympic that Indiana has played with consistently and look at that percentage overall she leads her ability to make everybody better when we broke for the All-Star break and for the she is on a historic tear as Kelsey Plum misses Indiana will play with in the quarter Court here's a Leah Boston knocking it down in a Chelsea Gray lob it up in there is Wilson who can't finish inside now watch this screen right here in the short roll hands ready gets it back to Chelsea Gray who launches and misses on a three here is Clark on the drive flips it up shot too short as gray gets inside but can't finish there zero of Clark bouncing for Boston one dribble muscles her way inside that shot was too gets free but shot too strong Wilson with her own offensive rebound misses here is Smith on the shot fake Smith using the reverse the two the best fitness for anybody at 65 that I think I've ever seen Clark on the fake weaving her way inside rolls it off the front of Wilson mid-range where she's two for two all the way and Beyond the three-point line Beav who hit their first three shots and missed their last six Jackie young runs the floor but nobody seems to mind it she's Wilson's finding some space from the mid-range and connect Kelsey Mitchell in the last 10 games while during that time from the three-point line Wilson all mid-range and all d as Clark got around Stokes gets to the rim lays it in and the going right she has such a great change of pace and she's learned to play through the contact no still not playing her typical slate of minutes although getting closer about 20 second on hold this has been a fun match up as Hayes gets underneath recovery there from Smith [Music] Wilson the hesitation the drive and draws the foul the open three is makes some hustle plays and right here she Taps the ball to Melissa Asia Wilson Brilliance knock down this free throw it'll give her 10 she's got it and she has not this year wheeler finds some space and knocks down a D2 good Mitchell puts on the breakes launches Ming great screen there's the drop Kia Stokes just corralling hay on the aggressive Drive runs into hole and with a wide open jumper game when the fever first visited in Las Vegas she wasn't yet aart Mitchell off the screen pulls up shot too strong got it young leaves it and it's a three ball early run here for Christy sides Boston steps into a three a lot of players played heavy minutes on Sunday Kelsey Mitchell one of them you know Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlyn Clark both played 13 basketball player turns an ankle once in a while here's ay staying aggressive to has not been playing all that much [Applause] lately Clark ability to be impactful on the floor Wilson that one way wison did not play on Sunday with an ankle inur she is back wison sets up Tiffany Hayes Becky Hammond went to the bench and the bench brought him back some of the players bouncing for Boston that's double Goodson also an Iowa star Wilson off balance having a historic run she's already twice been MVP here for Wilson Clark with the clock winding down can't get it to go in three games it's going to mimic what they're going to see in the first round and she said what better to prepare than win tonight just the second time in franch history they'll beat all of their opponents and it's Kate Martin on that Las Vegas roster couple of Iowa Legends obviously she's with some of the perimeter play I think coach sides is considering was considering challenging that call I don't think the fever took the ball out of bounds did she miss the free turnovers both of them were laid in the quarter as gray right up the middle Championship medal of Las Vegas on full display and Clark dropping it GR you don't take that for granted either I know she has the quickness she drives her back and then pulls it back behind it her ice and ball screens open up a lane to the Rim Yeah she that's a push off right there she puts her hand in the the chest of TI shot FES the three got by Clark flips it back to gray who gets inside and lays it in pson into a double team out to Alicia [Applause] Clark here's bson fire away that one weigh 30 to 14 C Three dtis Corner three that's after hitting their first three shots here's Mitchell catch and shoot fever stay cold so their early offense was because they ran the floor they got some gray hits the deck and there's a tripping call I decide you'll get anybody in this league on a third rotation Chelsea Gray seems to be rounding into her old form to me I mean she looks like there's Mitchell on the drive pulls up and knocks it down star break here's Mitchell head full of steam right up the gut and draws the foul Gamecocks including Asia Wilson and Aaliyah Boston tonight we'll see Darius in this build Mitchell knocks down the first and goes two for two from great putting on the moves Clark sticks with her and gray gets it to go Brees lost into hesitation and bounces it home the Gamecock Legends Manning the center position Clark no catch meaning she's not trying to let her get it back to hard dribbles to the midline usually works against everyone else in the league hopefully is going to get one or not I'm sure she is here's Wallace Lexi Hull gives you that three inde D that The Fever were needing they needed some alxi hle has the three fouls Mitchell too far for samelson offense extra opportunities you have to stay with them on the glass f w on Sunday over Atlanta despite the dream taking when you shoot it like that Pat there's not enough rebounds right fair enough you're taking it through the net young with a shot clock winding down just has to heave it up there and a shot clock she's going to go left and she needs one dribble to get to the rim her big Boston fakes it into the corner drives inside kick out wall hesitation just trying to bully her way inside and she stepped out of bounds no they call it for traveling awkward looking shot it's too strong Wilson Taps she does kick out Clark who hits her second three sson has a pair [Music] [Applause] Wilson looking for more she's got the size Advantage good hands there by S with 10 points eight rebounds here in the first half in fact she's a point shot he feeds it inside extra pass oh look at this ball movement from the aces Clark on Clark samelson Corner three little Hammer action transition take foul has been called on samelson transition take is in effect it's problem [Applause] driving into Clark there's Alicia Clark three for three put a typical three inde D Austin has the size Advantage flips it up the Clark defend sure is she'll be a good coach if she decides to do that off balance difficult look Vegas's baskets are assisted and tonight they have 11 assists on [Applause] 13 and now Clark launches had it halfway down Vegas earlier this season she's working on it Wilson's been deadly in the essentially trying to run the clock down Clark Banks it up BS it in nine-point lead here at the break offense shooting at just 32% from the to get them in rotation you know Clark would like to see home stand for Indiana we'll take him right up to the final game of the regular season very good scouting defense that time Scout she turns it over here Le H hold just blows right by her one shot in the first half and there's two slow to get up here what Indiana needs to play [Music] with supposed to be guarding so if you push you force them to match up with different that's illegal Jackie young that's that's an illegal [Applause] screen Boston back door it's m again Mark step back point line Olson able to shrug off Smith can't finish inside way they started the game and this came from fever analytics Guru Billy frier Mitchell from point A to point B quicker than most and can knock down the three didn't affect on the shot oh Jackie young pretty crossover what a move right behind the screen one more dribble drop cut open shot too strong there's Smith with the rebound and the stick back gray being guarded by Clark and a foul is called great CCH up right here yeah that's clearly a foul on the arm Chelsea Gray knocks down the pair from the line she's got eight the lead here for aggressive Smith oh pretty reverse able to hang and finish what a move trying to use her size over clarkk leaves it short boss three Boston the offensive rebound and Boston lays it in so a timeout by Becky Hammond we see that 12 by five here in the third quarter our Tom Wood Lexus play of the checks out there on his step back in game they'll lob it back to Smith who can handle [Applause] it we starting the first and third green whip in crosscourt Young from way downtown for the offensive foul she did Clark working on Plum here Clark leans in draws the foul and knocks it down Plum really B losses early in the season but really from June on this group has been competation working inside the reverse oh and took a big hit there on this time two of the very best guards what was just called a common foul on the floor holding her left eye CL Clark clearly took a hit right across the face Clark was more coming from behind they are gets hit above the shoulders and and I think there is maybe an argument that and that would mean that Vegas would have won Mitchell turns the corner Mitchell gets to the rim but but can't finish inside they seemingly all go in for Mitchell around the rim nowadays ping her quickness is is really so important Smith misses both from the foul line knocked that one out of bounds you got to do a better job of cleaning up the boards when you rotate I think Pat helps Indiana you know that we've had an incredible disruption in the G up there by Clark dangerous pass and never had the angle that was really well defended Clark one of the three now on the drive pulls up from the foul line it can't connect shot Asia Wilson's got to get a little more aggressive and Plum rattle maybe couple words between two great competitors Mitch felt like she grabbed her arm before that before she tied him tied her up Mitchell able to knock it into the corner Smith tracks it down in a possession here for Indiana P off balance leaning in draws the foul bigger and stronger and older at every position on the floor Vegas those first two quarters P hits the first here's a message from bom fire away and knock down a three the entire night here's hole charging into traffic finds some space and play eight here tonight wison Bob inside Wilson hangs and pretty finish no she couldn't finish impressed with Asia Wilson's second jump curvey hle Clark looking ahead it is ho but knocked Away by Alicia Clark good hustle play and heads up by Alicia Clark and over the last two games Paul has picked up some early Fs in the opening minutes which in WNBA history it's been a historic a player at Stanford for the great Tara vanir the alltime win now Boston extra passhole Corner three multiple times even on misses wison bullies her way inside and one Carolina I don't know where the foul was hits the game [Applause] winner this game has really come to a standstill comes in and helps but gray underneath gets it to go and a fou now watch gray she jumps into Boston that is not a I think she's going to charge it challenge it I think she should [Music] that's offense initiated contact to me Sunday now every officiating crew of course has slightly see if they would see differences in them maybe there are that we didn't see I I'm sorry but I and get it to go five fouls now that was her Fifth and Coulson comes away and lays it in that Indiana likes to run so well with Boston and Clark gets the projects the screen hay on the drive into Smith flips it up shot is short Mitchell gets to the rim too strong there's Smith to beat the buzzer and Asia Wilson is going to start this quarter on the bench Mitchell back to Clark offensive foul Court action I think that's what they need to do they need to pick it up they need to get reliable Hamm has really rid that bench heavy here tonight and a foul called on Indiana the downhill driving guards of Las Vegas to see more and is now into double figures which they never doward Mitchell catch and shoot hits a three it'ss her third three and an answer big and Melissa Smith has been active on the glass pson on the drive gets inside stoke's going to pop a three and hit it and and Clark answers with a bucket on the whole fighting the screen she picks up Chelsea Gray's got the arm bar right on her hip and runs her right into the screen Hayes fire away oh it was halfway down they're 18 threes here tonight the Indiana has gone from a two Clark

that lead is back to double digit back benle connects the floor hard and defending and blowing up ball screen coverages Wilson mid-range two more Kelsey Mitchell she tries to shoot Indiana back Wilson off the screen and another buckets a whole lot of Caitlyn Clark and Kelsey Mitchell the extra pass here's gray driving inside flips it up can't get the roll who steps into a two and can't hit it
