game taking place here at State Farm Arena we especially over these last three games yeah this lower left leg injury that she s started here at State Farm Arena has IND this a two game home stand for Atlanta and a new territory for them as this underneath Kelsey Mitchell able to get the move underneath Kelsey what the season has meant for them starting off 0 and five and being able to really write the ship as Tina Charles the Caitlyn Clark assignment Smith short Cheyenne Parker came up TI her season high with 18 Caitlyn Clark blocked by Haley Jones chrisy Wallace at the rim and so Cassy with her finish the Ste for Aaliyah Boston the send up the floor to Nelissa Smith that's something that Nia coffee does well every time down the floor it's tries to help the con to contain Clark to contain Clark but then you also have Kelsey Mitchell who gets the bucket there yeah Charles three attempt Kelsey Mitchell as you mentioned up the floor so Tina Charles with her second touch in you can think of is her in her Arsenal including the hook shot Smith outside bur it primary score on the on the perimeter Nia coffee coming off a game where she hit for trip good Atlant to the floor in the front Court just her second three of the Season she frees up space what a f by gray the Dre went over this defense in shoot around they are going to double Aaliyah so important for the dreams momentum Alissa Smith could Atlanta has numbers bounce pass up the floor Tina Charles [Music] [Applause] connects Wallace at powers and she's more confident so something that she wants to build on back door Ariel powers and of course they get an easy one Kelsey Mitchell percentage 42% from three higher than what she's shooting from the field and right now K Tina Charles that was deflected by aiah in the first quarter a lot of attention on Clark outside as Katy L Samson he in the league an assist but I don't think that's indicative on what they've been able B to be in the last four games to the expectations and a tough schedule a very tough schedule on the offensive end kayen Clark is number two number three is a Leah B there dream and Camp last season and tiisha feels like seven on the shot clock pulls up midy every part of the rim and it and that will do it for the first quarter key slowing down and being more intentional about their offense in general and I remember as Aaliyah Boston able to I mean I am out of breath after the first quarter 35 points for Indiana the dream has to find ask for the ball back left shoulder it's pretty much on the shot clock for Atlanta Tina Charles touch pass to Mia coffee in the corner in and out there by aerial powers that is her game and when she comes in she is expected to check in and add off Clark getting the stop Smith pulls up in at 10 points against Atlanta earlier this season well they didn't have numbers so they come back and they set up a play I think that's a foul on they're trying to close out you know what Lou is capable of bucket in the second quarter Kaye Jones held up and able to draw the foul against he thrust into the point guard position as she misses a second of the pair Caitlyn Clark asks for the ball and that's [Applause] why puts it off the deck held up in the paint and a travel call Indiana Atlanta rather looking for their first field goal ofing Indiana way too much space defensively they got to make them at all times Indiana is just able to move the ball right now offensively and the fle by ho Atlanta gets it back and Tina Charles able to get them their first two points against Indiana in their last production but the riding a thre game win streak looking to win on the road though as they are just on the attempt up the court Tina Charles gets the bucket and that's a rare more pressure from Haley Jones up [Applause] [Music] top great opportunity she's trying to get her team wake up a little bit on the defensive end and be ready to score on Q she gets the touch gets her rebound and gets the bucket wait for the Commissioners cup how about the Minnesota links probably the biggest surprise for meable but the balance we've seen from that roster has been very impressive as there's a foul that will in all the above and if you like her performance this season you got to so gray knocks down the free throw down for Caitlyn gray putting on the Jets at The Rim you ask for and keeping that in mind some other players have to knock down shots yeah ABS L and probably 80 since Tanisha Wright got that technical it's a good point is Aaliyah Boston over the last few games in the battle will thing between both to Atlanta and the off season is tiisha R back door for Nas Hillman nothing there Charles called her own number dur in the first half Delissa Smith facing up against Tina Charles the bump there it will be on the [Music] floor double figures on this roster and in and out on the second attempt gab d by gray Cheyenne Parker tius trying to hold up Smith and one in the middle more often this season Kelsey M Kelsey three ball good and one of the sharp Minds for Atlanta as well we stay Arc looking at The Rim to see if she can get anything off but says I'll just hold it doesn't want to take away from that needs to be better we need more secondary efforts and to get out to three-point Shooters and he said offensively we've got to get the ball I mean if it it's not broke don't fix it I mean Tina Charles was working but if some scoring from the outside and definitely from the three-point line the dream was 0 for two from three in the second quarter tough to pass over the outstretch hands of Aaliyah Boston with two deflections in that series and that did kind of ignite Atlanta into some but they closed the second quarter with half Boston beautiful dive to the rim great briefly lost handle able to get it back and that interior look she can plug the gaps and clean up mistakes on the defensive end 6-2 guard as Atlanta steps the second line of defense that helps defense on straight line drive so [Music] Tina Charles at The Rim misses the coming off of backto back double doubles picked up her Tina Charles backs off Kelsey Mitchell makes her pay Kelsey Mitchell and one on the other end so Atlant Haley Jones Ayah Boston leads to a turnover gray at The Rim is able to draw the foul time on Smith Indiana 17 assists on 25 made field goal down to gray Atlanta's running sends it up to NAS Hillman off the fingertips it get could even see she couldn't even see her gray off the deck draws the foul and she has been a huge asset for this short-handed Atlanta Dream offense with six triples so Atlanta sing who pulls up as Aaliyah Boston that has started this run for Atlanta the heide got to be there how about the finish at the other end look at The Rim underneath gray was demanding the ball and a teen left in the third quarter they're in the bonus had a different tone and a very different message even coming off of the bench with in the first half and that's affected their Pace Clark outside and that's good double figures and just off the mark from outside Clark again in and that will be short might have been a heat in a spot where her numbers on the floor the [Music] ncaa's and next sir we are all with you with loves and prayers absolutely Nissa Smith a power move Clark left alone bad idea on the night Indiana has led wire to see gray is back you know Alissa Thomas danana boner DJ keeps getting better so lethal Charles the quick turnaround Thro Ariel Powers able defensive end and I like the lineups that tiisha as Aaliyah Boston was able to track it down more contact and that's what makes Caitlyn Clark so consistently tonight and so she puts her hands on her instead to try to stop her a as well needed to be a little more disciplined on that possession what a perfect bounce less than a minute to play here in the third travel call for Ariel and one thing that tiisha is told that to see her in a uniform two on the shot clock Mitchell with the ball and she cannot get a shot off and working her way to the rim and no shot attempt for Atlanta forgot how engaged outside of the basketball aspect of this she is during the game a record of 11,000 fans previously for a WNBA game here and Atlanta winning four straight at home three straight overall and we're seeing a lot you got to make Indiana uncomfortable you got to take away their space so that's three gray thought about it takes it it gets the 5 seconds on the shot clock CT three ball good after the half but then it got it got chippy again six right now in this ball game but it's how Indiana has been able to yes they're outstanding basketball players but they speak several link had to look for a brief second Charles that's where they got to get the ball with some decisions to make samelson top of the key Trey Off the Mark 16 from the three-point line and Angel they hit three three of [Music] those this off wheeler she's just to really start enjoying each other's personalities enjoying the game Connecticut and then their first home game against New York and this team is much which I think takes pressure off of their defense and I think Tanisha R mentioned it as well it's a team that understand Mark receives a pass from wheeler that's going to be on the high food record then at home crowd wanted to push off [Applause] [Music] as than for just joining us ran Howard out we have not received an update supposed to look like turnover for Atlanta as Kelsey Mitchell able to retrieve it yeah you kind of forget and so they've had a number of adversities but their perseverance is what stands out at this point League instead it's another bucket for Indiana game keeping in mind she had 27 when the fever beat the dream at their place for the ball back going at Smith couldn't find the angle and a travel call [Applause] there under the two-minute Mark here in the ball game first nine games have only done that once since then oh in the dream shoot to get this first win against Atlanta you know you can take that home win streak on self over losses or sit in defeat really played with confidence I know that she was challenged defensively trying to pick up Clark but I really a Boston and Kelsey Mitchell scoring in double [Music] figures this season and danana boner [Music] [Applause] and Atlanta drops to six and eight so next up for Chicago unable [Music] moment go go [Music] [Music] fore speech [Music] foree [Music] foree spee [Music] speee fore [Music] what [Music] foree [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] black up for [Music]
