Indiana Fever Vs Chicago Sky #WNBA Live #Caitlinclark #angelreese

[Applause] shot from 12 and again it's Indiana converting you'll see her hit from very deep but but she isn't a onetick pony Mitchell has the skills plus toughness to score inside too Isabelle that shot a little goes her away well the buckets a bit fewer and further between lately yeah this game just has a different complexion than it had just a short time ago suddenly that lead isn't looking as cozy now here's Boston pass to Mitchell makes the buck now got five field goals five for eight on the game and you know sometimes it just comes down to feel Mitchell has a sense for the game that others don't here's [Music] Allen Turner with the ball on the wing Diamond to Shields pass to Harrison connects on the 17 keep the game simple when Harrison gets some space sees the mid-range jumper open up she takes it and here's Smith Mitchell covered by the shields now Samson she's got seven since being instituted in 2021 the commissioner cup has added a second trophy to the WNBA season and I really have enjoyed it a single game final that adds some spice to the regular season of course Las Vegas the first team to do the double win the cup and the WNBA fins back in 2022 that bonus money sure has been great for players as well I just think it's been a huge win all around and she makes the first from a basketball family Katy L Samson's sister Carley has played with the Sparks her other sister Bonnie was a big time college player I can only imagine the games of horse those three had growing up and that's good as she hits both shots Chicago in the lead now here's the shields she has five to the middle and she floats it in for the easy two crit the assist on that one most would have let that bump disrupt not to Shields a supreme competitor now here's wheeler defended by Turner here's Boston and she finishes nicely on the layup what a plus it is to get those looks in the paint now timeout called by Chicago they want to Tinker with the game plan a little bit and Now's the Time to do it yeah there was clearly some things going on out there that the coaching staff just wasn't a fan big round of applause this one [Music] substitution on the court [Applause] mabery covered by burer and she gets the bucket got to do more than that to stop ma she knows how to absorb contact the fever trailing pass to Saxon [Music] Boston and here's burer she's been patient so far nothing

make her pay [Applause] makes that one her six of the night shooting a very healthy six for n this is why Kelsey Mitchell is in the WNBA she can carry a team offensively have huge nights and put on a show now here's maber nine points in the game got her with the pump fake just couldn't finish here's Wallace the put back great positioning on the a put back an excellent offensive rebounder how about Boston imposing her will pass to Harrison here's Turner to Shields with it guarded by Wallace now here's the shields she's guarded closely rebounded by the fever still anybody's game at this point no question this becomes a very big possession Mitchell shots good got bumped but was still able to convert that is laser focus from Kelsey Mitchell outside ma pass to the shields [Music] Turner left side Evans over Mitchell Evans misses the shot was there her she had to take it and I don't care if she didn't convert she should take it again next time now here's burer she hasn't scored yet that I'm sure will [Applause] change pass to Boston over Turner and no good had a chance to take the lead and so it's Chicago with it they led by as many as 18 points outside Evans trying to get back on track and it's Turner [Applause] missing here's [Applause] Wallace Berger with it pass to [Applause] Boston over M that turn around J and there the fever with another bucket yeah nice play there Boston is a dominant presence in the paint at both end called here the sky decide to talk it over one of the stories here Mitchell getting it done today she continues to burn him at the offensive end the coaching staff is going to have to make an adjustment so it's both teams making substitutions here outside mayy the kick out to Carter six to shoot and the call will be against Carter that's her first foul great play to sacrifice her body take the charge giving up her body for the team and really a heads up play as well reads the play nicely and gets in the perfect [Applause] position pass to [Applause] Wallace over Evans here's Boston it's in and good for her six field goal in 10 attempts man they have got to put a body on her because otherwise with her agility and athleticism just not going to be able to contain her on the offensive glass now here's Wallace Evans covering and there's the three second violation violation Chic for your Chicago Sky Lindsay Allen one second left that shot and we're through the first half of play here and what's a good one on to Leading by three don't go anywhere folks we'll be back in a moment we have a close ball game on our hands as we get set for the second half to get underway it's been an absolute Clinic out there by Kelsey Mitchell she was successful just about every time she drove the lane in the first half she was on a mission it really was you know aggressive attacking basketball at its very best is what we just saw just so fun to watch it the start of the second half getting underway both teams battling hard through the first two quarters pass to Harrison B misses the three well with a clear look at the basket she doesn't really miss a lot of those and here's Smith Samuelson covered by the shields outside wheeler

knocks down the first one well you talk about players in this league who do everything on the floor you have to talk about Diamond to Shields she won the 2019 skills competition during Allstar Weekend showcasing her wide range of talents so she hits one of two from the strike the fever with the lead down low there's Smith Goes to the reverse layup and drops it in if you don't really box Smith out put a body on her she'll do that to you all night pass onion W inside with the offense getting right to the rim at least they save the layup that's some old school defense just telling them no easy layups as simple as that and I like to see it first trip to the free throw line for her in this one and the first one at the line is good after suffering a torn ACL in college I'm excited to see what Turner has in store for her WNBA career that's also good so she hits them [Applause] both and it's the fever ball six-point game outside wheeler [Applause] down to five on the shot clock pass to

three-pointer off the [Applause] mark on the wing Diamond to Shields yes it is SC that as baset number five on a 5 for 11 night it's fun to watch the shields when she's playing this aggressively and when she's on a roll she can really pick a part of Defense yep that one goes well they' built this lead through plays exactly like that she's easily been the most consistent performer no question about that I mean she's just hitting everything in sight now here's onion W outside to Shields pass to Williams for Wallace Williams gets it to go and the feed courtesy of The Shield you know she's really known as a scorer but but diamond is also solid at moving the basketball wheeler with it mayy covering and here's Smith on the wing Kelsey Mitchell now here's Wallace onion covering Wallace

attempted a dozen shots well she's been reliable again today they need her points and she's providing them outside to Shields Williams and she was fouled on the way up throws for her personal foul first good idea to just foul Williams she's an average free throw shooter don't give her easy look Elizabeth Willams that one's off really a different background the most Elizabeth Williams is born in England she went to high school in Virginia and she's become a great WNBA player good on the second free throw over two and a half minutes in the books here in the [Applause] fourth wheeler with it Mitchell outside the three-pointer no good very close to making the defense pay for the lack coverage that time not a great Habit to get into letting her get that wide open now here's onion wday from

blocked by Melissa Smith pric anticipation from Smith getting strong positioning on the wing Kelsey Mitchell counted Kelsey Mitchell assist from Christy a challenging stretch for Chicago here and here's ma to the middle here's Harrison and so she draws the foul on The Shot line thir foul and it's going to be on Melissa Smith and Harrison solid at drawing fouls especially when she's going up strong and the first one Falls for her well Harrison doesn't get to the line too often but she's not the player you want to send to the charity stripe because she can do some real damage and so she makes both from the line here's wheeler pass to Samuelson Smith outside [Applause] Austin outside clock at six she makes her ninth shot of the game and she has missed only four she's having one of those days where if she takes it she makes it now here's the shields pass to Harrison good d by Nelissa Smith well this is why you need good Defenders inside contesting yeah making every shot a tough shot even in tight and that one's good the moment Melissa Smith gets that ball inside good night I mean Melissa is so hard to stop Harrison with the ball now here's mber looks good is good that's her seventh Basket in 12 attempts well that pick it worked like a charm nice job taking it right to the tin for the layup [Applause] Austin [Applause] outside with the fade away and it's going to be out of bounds the fever will retain possession Mitchell outside count it what a tough player lots of times Mitchell is the smallest player on the floor but her heart might be the biggest pass to Harrison now onion wday and here's ma takes the three it's hold in by Boston they got lucky they got lucky and the defense taking a big chance leaving her open behind the arc and I'm not sure I'm okay with that game plan here's Samuelson out to the right wing six to shoot and Wheeler is good well the rare guard who primarily shoots it inside the line wheeler does have the range though to to knock down a TR here and there now a timeout called by Chicago all right let's it for your Chicago dancers all right let's for your Chicago dancers was your Chicago Sky Dancers two minutes remaining the game here's the shields pass to Harrison onion will will get it to go that's not an easy hoop good concentration by Williams to get the the bucket of focus player outside wheeler to the paint Boston and no
