that early one and eight hole he's helped dig the fever near a really good job of putting Brion Jon Banna Jones in some ball screen action forcing that switch but she's the first down the floor by D J Carrington it's a three-on-one Carrington flips it alista Thomas HS and draws a foul round she's going into the Maryland Hall of Fame on October 18 here in the W and of course coming off the gold medal winning performance and can't connect on a three ball he were struggling a bit out of the gates here keeping control of the ball and Alysa Thomas lays it in Atlanta an early six-point hole from gamebridge field field house here's Aaliyah Boston's first touch backing her way in and Boston banks it home Aaliyah Boston at left shoulder Boston had her 11th double double of the season and Clark hits a three so maybe she leads the league in assist and she leads the league and unassisted baskets this time it's Clark off the dribble and she'll head to the park is the League's third best free was a coach here for the Indiana Fever as an assistant and a head coach for a couple I always blame the screener for that sometimes just the ball handler doesn't wait oh look at that back door beautiful a beautiful than any other team they're aggressive defensively along the perimeter re team I didn't see any blitzes on Monday night against Atlanta most teams aren't bringing two to the ball to her anymore because she's gotten so shot on the other end here's Clark Boston extra pass Lexi hle barries a threee on Caitlyn Clark May on the other end answers with a triple line that's 73% but the fever give it away and Carrington with the finish and remember CL that's Connecticut's fourth turnover Smith spinning on the Baseline and gets it to [Applause] go Stephanie white riding with Thomas here with two fouls as Clark gets inside and lays it in he's sizing up mabery Mitchell knocks it down once again this fever offense after that slow start first couple of minutes right back into high gear danana Bonner oh what a play WoW last woman back as Carrington spins and feeds for Thomas you better you know they're playing downhill and a back door pass another one as Clark connects with Kelsey when Connecticut can slow you down get you into the half court with it defensively in fact they held New York to just 64 points on Saturday Connecticut goes to their horn set oh nice basket cut by mavy she's excellent at reading Boston taking it inside feed to Smith who buries a three here in less than 8 minutes atin averages three a game and that is a strong number for a center Clark [Applause] this game has the League's two leading assists Caitlyn Clark with is cut off Austin into the corner Mitchell is open and flashes home a three she's still their focus back oh dangerous pass inside Smith had it and lost it found its way to Carrington who lays it in and what is what I would label a team that is a bunch of hustlers right I mean being able to to keep Indiana in the quarter Court they have a better chance of locking down than letting them score and [Applause] transition hle getting her second start of the Season keeping everybody safe before they fly I'm sure she imagined herself doing instructions it's really good here's Carrington spinning inside fading and drawing the foul on grind it you know make it hard for you score the hottest ticket have played 17 of their 20 Road games already so they're in a good spot you don't usually see those two sit next to each other on the Indiana bench but wheeler hits a three Off the Bench Indiana's led by as many as nine Avery launches and misses on a three you got to keep your ey possible angle but still got it to Boston mitell kind of hanging out there in the paint right back for Boston who muscles it in there is circling her way around sets up Olivia Nelson o DOTA who gets it to go that won't [Applause] Faller is going behind the back and getting to the rim really nice move coming at you their early offense is their best offense there's ma off the screen but it was an illegal one two and turn it it over Jones there into the passing Lane ahead to Thomas who's so lethal in transition Thomas got it to go here early second quarter wheeler steps into a three and connects that time it will count as a three down a 21 foot three-pointer earlier but it's Harris Dan boner leads with 44 Harris has 42 here's dtis extra pass Lexi hle long rebound Park switched on to by Jones steps back can't connect on the three D had it in David Letterman's mother bought the first season ticket for Indiana Fever games how about that very cool very fitting he's in attendance and here at 38 F led by nine Connecticut by six Mitchell showing up and that's the issue when you have Boston on the floor and she runs so hard to the other end she doesn't get in that drag action first post down eight early points although she is 03 at the ball every Monday and Tuesday it's the perfect place for pros and rookies to have fun Thomas the leak's two leading assisters Thomas knocks it away Hy hle has to Fire and why not come on here is mayy answering with a three well B and here is Clark wide open knocks down a triple well Clark runs up here's Lexi hle three on two hole feeds to Clark right back for Lexi Hull who buries the three red hot and then there's what Lexi Hull has been doing park off the screen waits for Boston Who cashes in how cool is that taking in some fever basketball here as Smith gets inside con it and oh it's an off good job on danana boner to this point now they're inverting her to the block because she has a size advantage over Mitchell ay catch and shoot left the three ball short there here's Clark surveying Mitchell side step it's all sorts of space up there Harris has got a hurry just sees the clock fire away Bank Shot won't fall nice move to get there here's Carrington she's got numbers if she hurries Carrington takes it right into hole and finishes shot clock winding down again had it strip from behind and another turnover Outlet past Carrington it was right on the money what a pretty CLK bouncing Boston step through it's an offensive foul talked about it on Monday the fever have struggled on these jump ball situations here this year and boner hangs and finishes it turns into a three-point play and so Bonner with the technical free throw and then the an laid against Atlanta it ended up maybe being the pivotal possession here's a four Clark can't make them pay Smith with the put back and it bounces [Applause] home and Thomas just Bulls over Alysa Smith that's an off Carrington with the steel Carrington the hesitation the step through the find de Bonner and now Connecticut is in front to stop the [Applause] balli hole fire away why not Lexi huller fourth three looking ahead defended well by Alissa Thomas that's how you stopped the ball Smith gets inside and draws the foul it has nine points and has just gone into double digits the fever had 22 weeks where T Catchings was the best place to start the third Clark the shot fake Clark the drive and they got her Carrington got her before the D if you leave her open and Harris off the screen her shot too strong and now it's Clark launch ahead Mitchell behind the defense it's Caitlyn Clark's fourth assist here is Jones from the mid-range but you also have somebody like Kelsey 14 Mark step back hits a three there's no defense for that Carrington with an answer what does Clark have upper sleeve this time oh she gets it to go maybe could have got switch Mitchell pulls up hit 11 threes here tonight on Thomas in the post but they get it to her Thomas fumbles it but found its way out to Carrington who has a three ball Rim out Bark here's Boston hesitation extra pass Mitchell is
