wins the fever coming off a late Victory against the Dallas Wings Clark on a step back off the mark on her first look here tonight from Indianapolis a quickness Factor there with Odyssey Sims being guarded by Caitlyn Clark last time these two teams matched up it was here in Indianapolis their second level their helps side defense has improved since the break this is Odyssey Sims on a hardship deal on Indiana clar arguing in case that it was deflected in the beginning of the Season Christine isn't it I would since she turned it over here's the impressive rookie Ria Jackson averaging 13 points per game off the mark on her first managed you can't let Indiana get out on a break and you can't let Kelsey Mell get going cuz she has been phenomenal she has seven straight with 20 or more that is a franchise record she's pulling away a big lead in that category is here's Aaliyah Boston going to work on Stevens and Boston wins the match up we got it tested here is Stevens who will launch and off the mark on a three is a willing passer and if you bring two she'll find an open three-point shooter so you have to try to go one there's an area that needs to be improved too many turnovers even in that win this time it's Indiana with the defense Lexi Hull going coast to coast and she's been really shooting it well since the break her best numbers overall actually in her career here's Mitchell putting on the moves and Mitchell line and it sets up her ability to drive she is a hard check tough to keep in front Clark step back hits a three have 20 plus scoring n games and Caitlyn Clark who is only been around since 2010 but she's the first player ever to win rookie of the month and player of Sparks offense just 11th in the WNBA as Odyssey Sims gets inside and finishes mental toughness you're right Pat if you look at LA's lost seven of eight but the one win is New York the top team in the league there's Boston gets inside and L out the Clark they getting back defensively as Smith gets inside and draws the foul met by a ton of texts congratulating her from friends family and coaches but she said she was just happy for this player she went right to bed didn't even check her phone until the morning so while this team is excited and proud to reach the school Clark said but still an exciting moment for the franchise no question and ahead of [Applause] schedule Clark with a hesitation Clark gets inside and lays it in here's Hami fighting through traffic flips it up shot won't fall and K lers getting some minutes in the first quarter a little bit of rust [Applause] two here is Stevens on the roll oh can't fin off Boston and bounces it back forward she was held Harry McDonald who's just checked in all for the the season that's not something she was doing last year Mitchell catch and shoot whistle there to hit a three of Indiana's points cuz they scored 100 it's amazing performance just a stunning run here from Kelsey Mitchell one of the best all time in Fever history Mitchell doing a really good job fronting Ria Jackson CLK talking about a pregame saying look we put up a 100 and turned it over way too many times here's Lee Yu Off the Mark at 67 playing in her second year in the league here she is number 28 back door pass finds Kia [Applause] nurse Sparks though don't have any points off of the fever turnover so it hasn't hurt them in that regard that pace change of Direction so fun to watch Jackson Nice footwork and I think La is there's a post up action Here Comes help here comes Boston flips the shoulder and it's an offensive foul nurse has made the most triples for La that's her 41st Clark stepping back on the Baseline not going to down from the mid Donald lobbing it up hee wasn't there Burell able to save it in the corner barell attacking the Baseline and draws the foul the rim and Indiana has turned the ball over that's why it's such a low scoring first quarter you might relax just a tad you're playing La they've lost seven out of people have a lot of work to do to try to secure the sixth spot Clark will launch up balance here they got it to go as had a lot of home games this year there a lot of appreciation for the WNBA he is on the Pacers staff on a good Indiana P the Pacers playing with the fastest Pace in the D in the NBA and you can say that about the Indiana Fever they play a very fast he was terrific in that Sparks upset win here in May Clark draws the foul and will head to the line Clark who has the five highest scoring games for a rookie the the reigning player of the Week player of the month rookie of the month Clark on the bounce dant is charging inside and finishing H McDonald working the Baseline there's barell through traffic and a tough finish we were looking the way of dtis again backing in on Lee and a foul on the [Music] floor here is Nurse stepping back launching and hitting a three Mitchell no hook oh and Smith denial but on a second effort [Applause] finishes Clark over to Mitchell turnover here you got to move it quicker you see the blitz Caitlyn gets rid of it quickly you got to move the ball and Hami there to make IND can down that rebound Clark putting on the mve Clark ball fake here steal by La and a layup on the other end if hamy gets going Mitchell with a head full ofam you can just see the confidence brimming on Kelsey Mitchell as she steps into a two not off the hole sticking right there with Ray barell and Kia nurse has a three ball Rim out Jackson that's what she's been doing to help Indiana cont over a double team that was a difficult look already put together a fine evening 10 points in here so far well they haven't gotten anything easy they've had to execute in the quarter court and now La is starting to make that's where Indiana can get you with some mismatches Mitchell feeding inside for Boston and there's a fight for position in the paint Mitchell trying to get this Indiana offense kick started that'll help he's got 90 threes on the season and and Stevens answers with a three AER stev they are gone they've been gone Clark good feed into Boston with deep position going back to carry high and get some shots up here's azire again oh doing her best Debbie antelli come on a lot of the formula that worked here back in May knocked down the three and forc the turnover coach of the Connecticut Sun been former coach of the year and executive of the year in this league Indiana really good guy Sims able to flip that one in oh feeding inside for dtis we can see a concerted effort here ceration through their cuts through their actions right now is just a beat off easy worth noting that the Sparks have just and they beat New York last week they've knocked off Vegas a couple of times they've got some impressive wins despite the fact lost by 18 against Atlanta on Sunday and hit just three threes all afternoon so they D Miller allowed me in there it's always a learning laboratory when you're in in the gym with these coaches in the W because they work so hard at 21 of their 44 points as Boston back door cut it's Mitchell that play there on the perimeter Sims off the screen drive it into samelson and denied with a block on one end we'll now head to the free throw line on the other Wing minutes we haven't seen Christy Wallace much either now she's coming off the bench again there's a new mom she and hamy playing at all WNBA level this here here is Hami shot too strong KN clock down to seven Jackson trying to create driving on samelson shot Off the Mark there's Hami right place right time Cameron brings back home rehab and Cameron we're sing our best to you but hamy got to take her to you you know you got to be a leader and for RIA it's like you're going to be an Allstar in this leag Boston knocks down the free and looking inside here is Jackson has the size advantage on Wheeler and Jackson knocks it down pretty or Force anything in the W when the game slow down and you're a rookie that's impressive oh Clark beautiful find to basket low post punishing interior scoring that's what she hand and try to get her going looks like they're going to their horn set then on the defensive end Sims into hole and gets it to go off Bal Mitchell on the drive turns the corner and gets to the rim he forget about it she gets to that Archie Griffin style if you will shoulder pads over the thigh pads here is talber to shuffled as Indiana's offense has exploded here out of the Olympic break Smith going one-on-one attacking Hami and winning one coverage so if you bring help they're they're all willing passers out of that play here's Stevens lining up a triple here tonight one of the top three-point shooting teams in the league they shoot it third knocking down threes Stevens will try it again leaving this one short a little bit of heat Kur Miller has his team Blitz and it results in AA boxon getting away staying after it two bouncing round played some time in Dallas was great on those deals but not a full-time gig as Smith misses able to shovel it there to Stevens Buckle just let it go out of bounds Boston in the short roll off the blitz this is where Indiana has gotten really good in the middle Austin can't finish underneath Mitchell has the offensive rebound for Indiana Mitchell staying aggressive flips it up flips it in and we are just going to have a little walk to the other end of the court and try this again just kind of had my mind on the grid iron penalty on the officials AR with nine points seven assists here so far Clark crossing over and dropping a three oh and it's Clark with a steal Clark Off to the Races Sims given Chase she won't get there Clark off the screen bounces for Boston and then the steel defensively in the layup 50 run P Clark 14 points six rebounds seven assists Pat the drive put on the brakes and had it knocked away good hands there by Hami and nurse a little too far for the air Indiana has not seen a lot of that lately it does throw you off Rhythm a little bit not that they and there's lots of ways you can change the rhythm of the game sometimes it's a timeout or a substitution sometimes it's changing your play the same all the time Sims the switch on to Boston driving on Boston and draws the foul it's on a hardship in Dallas here she's averaging [Applause] Clark being watched by nurse Clark on the drive Clark hangs and Banks it home really can't stop her ton turning on Lexi hle shot too strong and the F from fever knock clock down to five Sim's going to have to hoist from way outside and once again your defense particularly when it's in front of your bench where your bench can help you on that Mitchell the switch on to Lee here is Clark launching screen she snakes behind it and she creat this mismatch for AZ Stevens it's a really well-designed play by Kurt now the switch on to Stevens Mitchell putting on the moves Mitchell on the drive drops it for Smith now it's wheeler turning on the Jets wheeler going coast to coast and Wheeler drawing the and Wheeler KN Clark on the fake Clark on the drive behind the back to Boston extra pass it's wheeler three triples Clark trying to answer you bet but we are starting to break out of that here as Sims on the drive and draws the foul what you expect from her playing [Applause] it nurse weaving her way inside and is called for a carry and you're trying to keep your team in a confident level to finish off the season Boston back for [Applause] Clark Sims whips it over to barell who's open and connect on the three and 10 seconds for Indiana to try to push couple really nice defensive possessions there for the Sparks to close out the Third
