good backto back games after playing johnw Jones on Tuesday has fouled on the floor here tonight as Nelissa Smith back on the attack and right back she's definitely being aggressive we've game especially early where Indiana F do a really good job uh controlling the Temple of the game there try to take your time and get a good looking shot down low six of 31 from the floor and Brides off night Phantom quick trigger and knocks down a three and this 24 points last night she's hit 10 threes Mitchell will launch her three off Target power is pulling up just being able to get in there and and take care of their job individually early and and see where they can get a little Advantage Irish players on this link roster as Smith back on the attack Smith the rebound gets it ahead to foul she wasn't ready for it and Vivien comes up with and Smith with the put back bre for Indiana here so far power trying to size up Vivian's lean VI finds both quick early shots but just being able to get in there and get on the re the gde off the screen Mitchell back for angler she'll fire again and you sure can when she's playing with confidence she looks like it could still keep FS backing inside finds a wide open shepher at Louisville and expects to see a three-point shooting themselves they're doing a great job getting two feet in the paint it's a 10 taking the lead back here from Minnesota they've held the link scoreless has checked in for the first time tonight wrestling under like at times yeah she just plays so aggressive after it um for every second that is in there but just being able to adjust 32 over the last couple of weeks as Vivian pulls up be a fouls back which is huge Bam's been excellent she misses has one I mean you could just really go all the way down the line Nat coming sod team has over undergone just so much change soda he's the type of player that which she gets going early can be really time it go goes up I see it going in they were trying to set a screen everyone has to be on the same Accord whether that was the fifth foul on Indiana so Minnesota is into the P been a tale of two seasons for her far from Minnesota another reason things have turned around in Minneapolis here's Mitch and when when she gets going she is hard to guard joha on the count Mitchell Corner three and Cannon hit the deckel who missed that three a moment ago shot fake the three back in her way inside and makes her beautiful find there's to go up with it at the end of that play She it's almost like she knew Death AA turns find some space he has one of those the best pick and pop players to play with and I think that makes uh that offense so much easier when you have a player in 2014 canons your pro he's really found a spot here Canon on the drive kick out Mitchell Corner three Jefferson off Carlton step back on M eight-point hole but we are level at 22 a piece quarter as Indiana goes deeper into their bench [Music] Victor till theia double team shoots over that double team misses short can she has a beautiful shot she's a he's going to take that shot and Anderson back for Canon tell you now the Links better get a hand up on her she sees one goes in she's going to veteran leader here off the bench for Indiana this year most notably that Chicago come back where you were using her for a handful of times this year on the floor and right now they're actually being outnumbered from bets to Rookies along with playing at a high level as well Jefferson left open off Target EMC Canan as Henderson gets it to Mitchell Mitchell on the drive and EM Canan who's hit three shots here in the first you noted that the rookies now outnumber the veterans that is because very end of that fever bench over there next to Lexi Hull I mean that's tough we talk about it at the collegate level having you know in the WNBA all year as Destiny Anderson yeah she did oh that's right and see that's the thing Canon he'll fire again white game so far for Queen Eggo she's played just five minutes of the first half has checked in for the first time and that's exactly speak to the favored defense right now at home Smith looking on the link and trying to get some broken plays to get together me pulling up three Smith pulls down the rebound back for Mitchell Tiff and him inside for me kind of settled them down and and look for that leader to get him in whatever already from the fever bench out scored Minnesota 18 to9 Mitchell off the screen here's Powers gets inside Powers lays it in through embraced that contact down there it looked like it was a little off balance players in this league not and on the floor that have that ability to and melee called for the travel six-game season for both of these teams so we are getting close a condensed year the beber World Cup coming up in September Robinson looking for Eggo is nobody there Robinson Just In Like A little bit of a broken play Kel uh more comfortable with the Trap and trying to get it out get the ball out of her and back for McBride who's been electric so far but an off chin action green hiy Mitchell step open for that easy layup fou just been ahead to Mitchell step back three Mitchell just leaves that one dtis lobing it in fouls good buckets really a big win for Carlos Knox for as as much as possible but soon as she gets the ball she's saying our looking for some daylight find some oh it's a really seal that deal you saw that that's the that's the important the gde off the screen fires away Robinson the bounce Mitchell the Finish man be able to be a perfectionist like that Dantes pull up three F from Robinson Smith turns and off the mark dtis inside for fouls wrestling with Robin to be so close and really anybody's game any given night I think that's so important what I think that's really something that she's been able to work on being able to get it high off the glass first time in her fever career on Tuesday as Carlos Mitchell watching ahead for Robinson underneath Mitchell couldn't handle it Powers lofting inside Dantes pulls it myth the League's fifth leading rebounder Robinson skip past Mitchell six shooting McBride bounces for fouls the spin Force about 15 turnovers per game on the season so the 12 here sees the double team finds space gets it to Smith skipped past Vivien Indiana now has missed seven straight three-pointer great possession whenever they into that door pass mcde draws [Music] the the way she's able really got her on the Seattle Connecticut Washington maybe some other teams are going to have to say with that as well but I've had a little experiences with uh with the cup or whatever they had is Henderson off Target with her look about 8 seconds between the clock it's aan on the will play for the final shot here po uses the

directions here trying to get Alissa Smith set up Mitchell swing at [Music] corner just McBride left alone fouls with the Viv the drive gets inside bounces for Eggo couldn't handle it wrestling or two go through the basket for viven I think is going to be really important in this third quarter against Dallas last night came all the way back to cut it for second consecutive kns dtis straight away three robon turns it on their own there and it's been a big reason why fever have had a nice night here making sure the guards are getting in there getting their hands on the ball as well Mitchell pulls inside the fever are ahead without Mitchell playing all that well as foul and they did a much better job of that in the second half as [Music] they there's Smith turning down a little bit but TR of see her start getting more aggressive as the game goes on seeing that time and time again but he's getting in there have that confidence to keep working assists five assists now here in angler stat lines we've said it so many times this year six points five assists Bri up three group effort for the fever on the glass here so far tonight as Mitchell stay Indiana a fever those troubling runs that have plagued the fever in previous games here was really prepared uh for the fullt Press kind of get really aggressive really effective sets up Kelsey who will launch the game Kel see Mitchell Just One of seven from the three-point line team kick out Mitchell swinging angler on the shot fake good ball movement and that we want to see keep going [Applause] Shephard that might have been a two maybe three dribble to get to the basket but time she was in Indianapolis she lit the fever up for 26 absolutely every time she gets the ball on that block they're sending they're they're Mitchell runs into a wall gets it back to Smith Smith pulls up and [Applause] [Music] Le yeah he's really going into his bench uh tonight and players is getting crazy crazy minutes they're doing a good job rotating on the bench chyl Reed continues to mix and match try to find this rotation their third game in four nights D it Shephard ahead mcbry Mitchell giving chase a nice chat with her [Music] yesterday like they kind of lose that momentum but being able to get back up pressure beneficial for any Sheard back door pass there's had it knocked away Jefferson comes up with a steal Mitchell giving Chase again and Canon was hot how does Indiana deal with this momentum swing yeah usually especially with teams that uh haven't played fatigue starts to kick in but it's almost the opposite here for the link so they've just really lid on the rim right now for Indiana and Minnesota running the floor links are giving Indiana a dose of their own medicine yeah yeah just been of the Seven Points here so far Mitchell driving on Jefferson who stays Phantom launches and Mitchell stopped the bleeding Mitchell on the drive gets inside floats it up tender but that help came so quick that that was a beautiful floater to get it up an early eight-point hole the cha finds some 17 points and under four minutes as Mitchell draws and with this play right here that nice little nudge right there by shooter the fifth year Pro out of Ohio State she was the number two over was down by 20 late in the third so if the fever can get with the way that she plays she never sees a bad shot she really struggled last night just two of 11 from the floor showing a ton of resiliency as shepher back you kind of see it now here for the fever they're not Rota they're not communicating but she struggled at times to stay on it [Applause] this is where she starts to grow as a player Robinson splits the double team gets inside leaves it shorts n Midway through the quarter has a chance to go up double digits to send them to the line shoot the rest of the corner nor Indiana's two best three-point shooters by [Music] [Applause] volume phom drives on Robinson pulls up four to five run to finish out the third for the Min Indiana Fever who saw a nine-point lead th here in the fourth has had that one knocked away the dble defensively real good hitch for the ball like she knows where the ball's going and really a moment to remember here if the fever can get back in the game as Shephard look there is Eggo fever Center on fever pass but doing anything flying in there trying to see if you can make play Smith called for her third foul Smith with seven points seven ver Sheard crosscourt F to a [Applause] CH Smith using Robinson weaving through traffic on problem every time she has the ball Daniel Robinson the 11e of Tama Johnson for 12th all time KCK out Shephard Jefferson on the drive finds him that really makes me wonder if that was what that difference was from the first and second was really instrumental in some of those fast break opportunities fouls back door pass Carlton HS when a team is aggressive on defense the next best thing you have to Jefferson DS inside two the next thing you know and I really leave that Mark as she cles out her season her career stands at 12 bam ahead for Carlton Carlton [Music] Camp Vivian will launch a free throw line let me see if I can cash out on this three being minely here's Shepard spinning on Smith Shepard floats it up Mitchell crossing over Mitchell this couldn't finish that was defended fouls run in the floor trip after this this links group credit R they are on a backto back that first game time win against La they have played that's uh really a championship mindset you know just being able to overcome and carry yourself as a pro uh is putting you in situations where you're playing half Smith crossing over Shephard eyes were already looking down low uh to give it in syvia FS it has been a tremendous last 10 quarter the fever had an eight-point lead in Minnesota up by thir they dug themselves into too big of a hole and here's fouls once again person gets the ball looking into to give it to syia that have had a lot of experience in terms of playing in the league many games this year where they've made an adjustment and been is to uh get you as prepared as possible so not only right now the fever are extremely small

Season individual sequence of the season for Indiana as it knocks it away from behind Smith comes up with the near steel and on the ball I can't let up so that's really uh really trickling down from the 70 run they have trimmed this this deficit nearly in half for this little barp out of the timeout they've been so good out of timeouts tonight say McBride important here down the stretch you got to be defensively sound look the direction of the Hall of Famer syvia foul 50 left in the game they still have a little bit of catching up to do they can't do it all one Mitchell comes up with a steal
