thats that it was deflected in the beginning of the season christe Su on most ball screen coverages that's the first BL Ria Jackson averaging 13 points per game off the mark on her first look Indiana get out on a break and you can't let Kelsey Mitchell get going cuz she seven games at a season high that is a franchise record she's pulling away a big lead in that category create shots around the rim and she's got range Boston back door pass has Aaliyah Boston going to work on Stevens and Boston wins the match here is Stevens who will launch and off the mark on a three and Clark looking for Mitchell ahead that time couldn't connect if you can manage it defensively it's Indiana with the defense Lexi Hull going Coast to Coast not talked about enough changes for this team she's certainly have actually in her career here's Mitchell putting on the moves and Mitchell Tami goes back to work and the scoop shot rolls it in to keep in front Clark step back hits a three always a different energy in the here is Hami who will fire from three Off the Mark Clark showing off the moves Clark oh to the rim just couldn't finish all the hard stuff and then couldn't finish the easy August and continuing here through September MVP here is Nelissa Smith fire away and Miss on a three 11th in the WNBA as Odyssey Sims gets inside and finishes a week ago here Cameron Brink some miscommunication on Indiana's End Awards the coaching award so they're going to be tested seven of eight but the one win is New York the top team in the league there's Boston amby just puts her head down and can't finish tip down back defensively as Smith gets inside and draws the foul to sleep through it and wake up and find said she was just happy for this player a little bit different experience for kitlin Clark the games but then just immediately shut it up to the school Clark said she doesn't like to party night this morning last night not for the franchise no question and ahead of schedule right Chris four maybe three she got a four-year contract out of it Odyssey Sims finds some space but can't hit on a three Clark with a hesitation Clark gets inside and lays it in here's Hami fighting through traffic flips it up shot won't fall Katie lers getting some minutes in the first quarter once again Caitlyn Clark frustrated [Applause] on the officials do you I would guess not yeah I don't think so she kind of put up the two finger on both two sides calling Eric brutin looking for an explanation here is Stevens on the roll oh can't finish Mitchell hand off Boston and bounces it back for she was held Mitchell catch and shoot whistle there two hit a three but we saw the three-point signal being put up there by here since the break and she's coming off that 36o per it's amazing performance by Mitchell really good job fronting Ria Jackson and it's McDonald who knocks Downer team on the perimeter right now and there's a misconnection between too many times here's Lee Yu Off the Mark physical post who can run off screening action who can back door pass finds Kia nurse Clark thought about it that is their seventh turnover of the fever turnover so it hasn't hurt them in that regard that will continue just weaving her way through the entire defense oh Mitchell Jackson Nice footwork and I think Here Comes Boston flips her shoulder and it's an offensive foul Mar Bell who just checked in and nurse dials up a three first Clark stepping back on the Baseline knocking it down Corner barell attacking the Baseline and draws the [Applause] foul theou Indiana the mark on her first you might relax just a tad you're playing La they've lost seven out of spot Clark will on chop balance nearly got it to NBA I love Tyres yeah Conor mcaffrey sitting there next to Tyrese and both playing in this building nurse misses on a three there's lead you can say that about the Indiana Fever they play at a very fast pace one of the tops set win here in May Clark draws the foul and will head to the line highest scoring games for a rookie this year to go along with more than that in a season it's Courtney Vander don't have time to spend on all the numbers McDonald misses on a three Clark on the bounce d is charging inside and finishing a great work in the Baseline there's Burell through traffic and a tough finish in on Lee and a foul on the floor and a stunt means it's like a defensive fake stepping back launching and hitting a three here is Clark floating it up shot too strong gets her own rebound oh and Smith denial but on a second effort finishes get any fast break opportunities over to [Applause] Mitchell nurse stepping back and rattles that one home so Kia Nur Clark regularly seeing two there in the back court and that is Indiana Caitlyn gets rid of it quickly you got to move the ball and handy minus two turnover margin a plus two rebounding margin kind of cancel each other Clark putting on the moves Clark brimming on Kelsey Mitchell as she steps into a two not off The Mark with Ray barell and Kia nurse has a three ball Rim out Jackson to help Indiana ontis over a double team that was a difficult look and Odyssey Sims on the drive draws the foul already put together a fine evening 10 points in 10 minutes off Sims is one of two Indiana's only got one more Road game left in the entire season easy they've had to execute in the quarter court and now La starting to make with some mismatches actual feeding inside for Boston and there's a foul kick started that'll help Kelsey Mitchell freeze on the season and Stevens answers with a three Clark good feed into Boston with deep position here's azere again oh doing her best Debbie Antonelli on got the three and the D now Boston on the other end oh shot too strong there got knocked down the three and forced the turnover that's and for Kurt Miller who has been a the year and executive of the year in this leag that Indiana really good guy oh feeding inside for Dante there's fast and then there's acceleration and fast is North worth noting that the Sparks have just about secur realistically sometimes it does it's a two-year rolling average in the w a couple of times they've got some impressive wins despite the fact that they're just seven Rim outs just three threes all afternoon so they've doubled whiches in the W because they work so hard at their schi practice in the leag here's Burell fighting inside and getting the roll points as Boston back door cut it's Mitchell Sims off the screen driveing into samelson and denied doing a great job of contesting Odyssey Sims at The Rim minutes we haven't seen Christy Wallace much either she's coming off the bench again he's a new mom she's dealing WNBA level this year here is Hami shot too [Applause] strong eight driving on Samson shot Off the Mark there's Hami right place right time back home rehab and Cameron was sing Our Best of you but hamy got to take her there a career year 18 points per game 10 for RIA it's like you're going to be an allar in this league just keep [Applause] working and Boston knocks down the first free throws IND Jackson has the size advantage on Wheeler and Jackson knocks it down when the game slows down and you're a rookie that's impressive oh Clark beautiful finder really nice first half for Boston who has 14 points here's tala got caught in the air and turns it Sims into hole and gets it to go off balance Mitchell on the drive turns the corner and gets to the rim they forget about it she gets th pads here is talber who shuffled her feet out of the Olympic break Smith going one-on-one attacking Hami and winning the battle passers out of that play here's Stevens lining up a triple shooting teams in the league they shoot it third best threes Stevens will try it again leaving this one short and it results in a of Boston getting away staying after him she's finding some room to work down there and on the other end odyssey's heels but not a full-time gig as Smith misses on the able to shovel it there to Stevens offensive rebound for Indiana Mitchell staying aggressive flips it up flips it in just kind of had my mind on the grid iron penalty on the officials for Hami Hami with a crossover driving into Smith leads a shot short CLK crossing over and dropping a three Clark Off to the Races Sims given Chase she won't get there a burst from Caitlyn Clark as Jackson throws up a wild shots gas is for Boston here is Hami on the other end spinning and drawing the foul as de Hami KN 14 point six rebounds seven assists Pat good hands there by Hami and nurse a little too far for the a no more blitzes in the first half it starts the second sometimes it's a timeout or a substitution sometimes it's changing your Sims to switch on to Boston driving on Boston and draws the foul a hardship in Dallas here she's averaging so the 11year Vets Clark on the drive Clark hangs and Banks it home really can't stop her ton turning on Lexi hle shot to sto from way outside and once here is Clark launching she creates this mismatch for azer Stevens it's a really well-designed play by drops it for Smith CH wheeler giving Chase Jackson way too strong s turning on the Jets wheeler going coast to coast and Wheeler drawing the foul and it's with Caitlyn Clark now in the mix but when you talk about Erica wheeler and Wheeler knocks down the first decision for Christy sides wheeler wanted two Boston the offensive re extra pass it's wheeler Indiana back up by the nurse with a silencer Clark trying to answer you bet to break out of that here as Sims on the drive and draws the foul expect from her playing at such they like to run for Kelson Mitchell nurse weaving her way inside and is called for a carry indana right you want to be there in the last couple of possession the season Boston back for Clark dims whips it over to barell who's open can't connect on the three Clark back for samelson and the fever don't get a look they try to nail down their 18th win of the Season whistle off who's really battling in there for position dtis fading firing good defense there by oh that scissor actions tough to guard what a take by Burell another Clark driving on Burell hangs and can't get it to go at the being guarded by Mitchell and Clark and barell knocks down Austin spinning inside right around McDonald game nobody in the league runs more two-man game than Clark and Clark Lin inside oh difficult pass somehow got it aah Boston is in making this move 12 double double it's been her most productive right but I think she's played Lexi Halls averaging better than 10 points after the break Beaver hit with a moving screen Burell off balance can't frustration there from Clark and Mitchell in the first 10 seconds of the shot clock especially when she Sprint step back hits a three going the other way Clark going behind the back oh it's Boston with a couple of signature moments here tonight let me correct myself it's four triples for Caitlyn nurse will she get it off in time just does it's a shot clock violation out communication not overh helping Kurt Miller wants to talk it over Indiana [Applause] lead Mitchell pulling up not too strong that would have been Clark's 10th assist runs into hole shot too strong Stevens with the rebound and she is fouled on the for those of you tuning in for the it's streaming free on the CBS Sports app or at CBS sports.com 10 in this building Clark feeding a little behind Boston and Smith with the rebound oh pretty Spin and Smith gets it to go barell catch and shoot oh way too strong leaves the three-point shooter open Mitchell that's a deep two but she connects send and they lost Hami and and one trip to the free throw line she's a player for La that averages averaging 18 points per game that's a career high Smith trying to feed it in to Kelsey Mitchell kicked Away by Hami Mitchell hoist and had it halfway down Sims difficult look from the mid-range gets reinforcements and Melissa Smith is fouled go to film and they watch plays like she doesn't give and Smith knocks down the first a 60% here for Hami right into Smith maybe got away with steps no she didn't 20 points here tonight Smith lost the handle shot clock down to Austin spin move floats it up gets it to go and a you're never going to see dear a hamy take a play off and deer sees a vision about this culture

Off the Mark close out games right they they've scored back-to-back games of 100 tipped it behind her here is Stevenson firing away that shot won't fall nine on the glass not getting it at least on this possession about the three and traveled back her way in backing in on Stevens she was blocked and fouled that's a really good atto by [Applause] Indiana and a big night for here Carell cut off there by Boston inside for Hami sent back nurse drives inside off balance shot won't fall Sims picks the pockets and Sims lays it in with a foul all under two minutes to go trying to go up three possessions and in Stick herself on the drive Stevens got a piece from behind whips it back here's a Boston three not too strong ver is left open she can't tie it Mitchell H gets inside and she has been outstanding often here out of the Olympic break have we called her name 17 for 25 from the three-point line since the breaks field goal percentage from the floor and from from the three-point line in and Clark just continues to lead the WNBA in assist remember you can't say it enough this team was one and8 to start the year they hang on here that is 17 and8 nobody has stopped Boston in the post once again this young one within five points in the final 5 minutes and as you have been pointing out that this place taking too long I think by the way all the accolades for prising but
