something for Kelsey Mitchell right now and Wheeler misses on second violation talet way outside she's a sharp shooter but do McDonald SE it he does gets rid of it and hits a three by an average of Five Points or two possessions that's how close their game in in a late game situation and another triple what a resilient answer here from Kurt Miller's group as Mitchell leaves a three ballot to take dangerous pass but it found its way to Hami and it's it's a balance for Coach sides Samuels in a deep [Applause] three brilliant response by Kurt Miller's group little high low with Hami and Clark Helder Jersey both at this point well aggressive attack and draws the foul benley Miller's team either he's going with a little bit of a smaller lineup two man game behind the back frees up Boston flips it up and draws the foul Brown injured earlier so they point guard options big test for the seconde guard out of South remember 11 roster spots and that's why you got to stay ready on the end of the bench slow by talit but misses at The Rim Boston picks up for Beaver with 10 fast break points on the night Boston hits basketball here as Clark nearly took that one away in the corner barell hits a three he only played 5 minutes total before tonight Boston had her shoted here in the fourth quarter big minutes for Kurt Miller group that got him here as Hami Fades fires and misses

foul oh this is going up it inbound Samson got free it was denied at the ring Clark putting on the moves gets by nurse grap around Donald being hounded by wheeler Indiana's already committed four fouls with a good free throw shooting team nurse finds some space and hits another shot from the three-point line here is Clark to Smith back in how about the second half for Kean Mur she has really competed I think all three of her triples are in the second [Music] half yeah you got to throw it in there that's a foul if you don't not clock down to five Smith going to have to create into Hami off balance flips it up sh [Applause] McDonald straight on three Sparks have not been a great three-point shooting team this year but they have been tonight that's a turns it over some miscommunication Ary McDonald with the steel and the finish and just like Clan double bounced it off the brink Austin shot clock down to five hounded by Brink and the fever turn it over again Brink extra pass nurse has been brilliant and and a whistle before Clark could have to pick choose and figure out around the game when's a good time to in the second half Brink is open can't get the boun contact and then she went down I think that Sparks bench over there thought that's what the get three stops in a row that's what you got to be thinking right now Pat can you Brink lobbing it inside hand beat D inbound nurse will she do it again she's off the three Ops for Clark back for a rolling Boston foul and one to put the Sparks up 14 combined eight for 11 they have made 10 triples they're struggling offensively all night even when they were leading in fourth Austin into the corner Wallace will fire and hit him three so it's a couldn't get the layup oh that's going to be a foul on handy and Caitlin gets two instead of shooting a three two free throws instead of three five rebounds five assists four blocks three steals here from Indianapolis Back Door pass Jackson lost the handle with they'll say Clark Jackson one of Indiana didn't get that timing right here is wheeler on the drive right into traffic and he'll murse the step through floats it up and why not for back benley
