Indiana Fever vs Dallas Wings [FULL GAME] Sep 1, 2024 | Women's Basketball | WNBA Highlights 2024

dominate when they played here the last time let Caitlyn Clark and Kelsey Mitchell go off today Mitchell only 13 points in the loss now she goes in the paint rolls it over the front of the rim there's not many players in the league who are as fast as Kelsey Mitchell getting the basketball she is so good about that and you're already late because of her speed arque buries the three Mitchell was in front of her fun to see players who have different skill set arque with that beautiful arcing shot Caitlin Clark tries to answer no satu Sab her seventh game match she has been a huge factor for this team takes the pressure off arque and makes it a little bit easier for Howard Howard the floating rander no fights for the rebound can't come up with it he's going to be really fast Pace game because you know the fever get the ball up the floor in like two seconds miss the former Taylor bear like to see what her ticket allotment was for this game exactly well I was kidding some of the players and the coaches both staff they said whoever plays defense may win this game we may be looking at two teams hitting 100 zatu for three carries it her shot is so pure and look at this one more time run up the floor you got you got to be solid on your defensive principles Clark over JC Sheldon those two played against each other at Iowa and Ohio State and let's just say those two when they got together on the College Court feisty arque Off the Mark Clark comes down there's one of those long passes oh little French pastry from Chelsea Mitchell that's going to be all over the uh the highlights around the world what a great pass by Mitchell to Smith averages an assist and a half a game just what we thought this game would be like St two again Ron isn't that called chemistry exactly they didn't have that earlier in the season they didn't have enough time to be playing together SAU tried to go behind the back popped it up here is Clark and now sau's got a guarder if Clark goes right she's going to drive if she goes left chances are she's launching the three Smith no you know Smith missed that shot but Caitlyn Clark dragged two Defenders with her and Smith had a wide open three which he's been knocking down this year Mitchell looks to push leads Indiana in scoring 185 and she's got four already second a foot race right and we'll come the other one away the two-point Advantage Clark on Sheldon Clark has been shall we say spectacular this year Nelissa Smith okay all you Wing people you guard Mitchell and Clark you're going to leave me open I'll get six hey Smith is having a really fantastic season really all of them have lifted their game including a Leah Boston you can just feel the confidence with this team like the wings have the last three games satu sa is going to be f by Nelissa Smith let's go back the average seven here is satu sa five games she's shooting 47% 50 from three averaging five assists 19.8 points a game first player to average those numbers over any five game span Howard fouls it up off the glass and Flash has her first two yeah Natasha Howard is so quick long lengthy smart and just a great asset to this Wings team Boston hands it off Nell one of the fastest if not the fastest player in the league PA who has been lights out shooting the basketball oh so this is what the half court L things looks like yeah Mitchell scoop no nice job Melissa Smith maow caps it to herself this is what Dallas has done well in the last three games running after a rebound and arque Knocks down the three wow reading the defense Boston was in the lane and just a little bit lay closing out to arque arque 22.3 on the year Clark can't get it here is arque she had to go through an awful lot that's going to be an offensive foul on Howard but arque say she had to go through it off a lot with all those players injured 75 player games lost to injury but the one thing during that Four Points in the the second half of the allstar game against the Olympic team was amazing she was the MVP she's having a great year Smith off balance that's because of Dallas's defense gets her own rebound back no maaan pulls it away her fourth board already for T-Mac she has come alive the last three games and that has been much needed by Dallas arque over Hall halfway down rebound controled by Aaliyah Boston seconde player out of South Carolina Clark Works off the screen Sheldon read it well back door beautiful play can't get the rebound Mitchell in trouble that's going to be a travel aw a lot with all those players injured 75 player games lost to injury but the one thing during that entire time the second half of the All-Star game against the Olympic team was amazing she was the MVP she's having a great year Smith off balance that's because of Dallas's defense gets her own rebound back no maaan pulls it away her fourth board already for TX she has come alive the last three games and that has been much needed by Dallas arque over Hall halfway down rebound controlled by Aaliyah Boston seconde player out of South Carolina Clark Works off the scen Sheldon read it well back door beautiful play can't get the rebound Mitchell in trouble that's going to be a travel Christy sides whether it's LT they're doing such great jobs motivating their team and their locker rooms and that's why they're successful oh yeah she's successful too that does help Dallas now four for seven from three Indianapolis missed their last six shots and the lead goes to five Wings trying to stretch that win streak to four the longest since last season put it in perspective they won only nine games the first part of this year because of the injury Clark no maau rebound number five on the drive no tip nice job Matty seagis keeping it alive JC Sheldon no yeah it's good to see uh you know mdy back on the court being healthy part of that you talked about how many games 70 something games 75 75 games she had the broken figure needed surgery we've got a whistle at a foul Matty seagis though never got down she kept working out she basically got cleared about a week ago to go 100% had to have kind of a big splint on and I don't see the splint on now no they took it off yeah it's the first game without it yeah it's it's just WRA right there but one thing about her game she's improved so much since her rookie season almost doubling her numbers when she was starting earlier in the season really has a great nose for the ball as a offensive rebounder and she's just tough she's like you Ron she's just really tough and works hard well I'll I'll go to the work hard part tough part I don't know about yes you are how about this Kelsey Mitchell averaging 185 six straight 20po games that is an Indiana record lead cut to three closing in on three minutes to play here in the opening quarter Dallas number two in points in the paint 40.6 but Indiana does a great job only allowing 34 that's third best in the league whistle and a foul that's going to be on Boston Matty seagis goes out and satu comes back in for the Dallas Wings it's a really good matchup I know D Dallas has won the first two games against the fever this year but they're really both two different teams right now with how they're playing Natasha Howard had the Baseline cut off by tamy benley benley has been very impressive she's had a couple of STS where she's had to miss game this is her fifth game back since her last injury but she's really been Difference Maker for this team that's going to be an offensive foul I think T's going to call it and she goes no no no no you you can't you can swing at the face the committee would like to present Natasha Howard Mitchell carries the three that was pretty now what a shot what a left-handed shot she has that's one of the reasons why right now the fever are 5 and one since the Olympic break the best in the league and then Dallas answers again how about arque her fourth three-pointer made every field goal made it's been three and Clark gets her first field goal of the afternoon well the sellout crowd here you know for the wings is going bananas with the level of play and seeing such incredible action Clark pulls down the rebound we've got a whistle underneath and that's going to be back on June the 20th the biggest difference and we said it before with these two teams who had some struggles early in the season for different reasons but the joy in the locker room is there that says a lot about the coaching and how they were able to keep people together Scouting Report alert Caitlyn Clark likes to go right on the drive left on the jumper on the three that's exactly what she did they just can't let her go arque oh my another three her fifth of the ball game Scouting Report Kelsey Mitchell you cannot go under the screen when guarding arque you have to go over the screen or he's going to have his R just say five threes J maowen was doing hand toand combat with Boston on the right block fouls going to be called deir dtis has checked into the lineup for Indiana the ninthe pro originally from Brazil and colani brown coming into the lineup for the first time coming off a very solid effort does no AR's got it up ahead look at kadi run the floor tried to make the save couldn't do it here comes Clark where she is most dangerous but no look no catch and she's mad at herself that was that was going to be a really nice play it was just a little bit of a timing thing to be able to get the ball you know to the big let's talk about Caitlyn Clark because beginning of the year she was being unfairly criticized about her turnovers they have improved drastically since then and I just wish people would enjoy what we're seeing here nice block Lexie H yeah people think Lexi Hall is like side no gets it right back working on dtis no again continuing to fight lost it Indiana will have it with 34.2 left in the quarter down by two yeah this is quite the battle but uh K Brown is she is just a battler around the rim she really so fundamental in how she plays Indiana coming off that 100 Point Victory against Chicago that's the most points they scored All Year Mitchell again no but she never gave up on it B away no back ble lost it to satu Wings could get the last shot sabali says I'm just going to take it whistle and a foul is going to be called with 5.7 kids you don't to miss the oper can I sign up yes you can uh please come out and you know this is something that the wings do they always want to deal and share with the future of the game every one of us everybody on this court sitting on the benches we all went to basketball camp oh yeah learn the skills worked on our game so we can play at another level I'll be out there I can't wait to see everybody tomorrow Mitchell at the buzzer not going to get it hitting threes it's about the fact that they're not getting as many as they want you know the wings have gotten 12 they're shooting 50 as you said from three and the fever have only taken five threes which is very unusual they're in the top three to five in all the different categories that you can either take threes make threes or the percentage of Threes Indiana average is about 20 six three-pointers a game they make nine of them you know Ron that's why you're on these telecast cuz you have every number known to man and women I have no life hey I'm searching for the percentage and he's pointing to it on his cards calling my mother they telling you I I love doing that stuff though dtis makes it a two-point game with n and a half to play here in the half arque bark was honor no nice job though Caitlyn Clark jumping out on that I think that's the fourth different Defender good point you know they keep switching The Defenders up on Caitlyn Caitlyn has had J on her she's had arque on her she's had satu on her you guarded her for possession it's it's really you have to do that to keep them off balance with different different looks you know we talk about Caitlyn Clark scoring and passing but beating scree how big is that for her well that's what the great ones do there's EQ and IQ and she's got both D inside tried to dump it down low that'll be a turnover that'll be the sixth turnover for Indiana the only average just a shade under 14 a game Wings by two trying to extend their win streak to four as is Indiana back door J Sheldon how about the pass from Kanani and that's a great pass she is a very good passing big and understands angles how about coming up a career-high three assist colani versus Minnesota but then Mitchell answers again she goes to double figures with 10 isn't it fun to watch great players can't finish it satu had it hul comes back with it Mitchell plants fires buries the three time out Latricia traml in the wings [Applause] 826 left in the half Mitchell's got 13 Indiana [Music] lead Howard no a little bit short legs didn't look like they had a lot of push on that Wings only one of four shooting here in the second Indiana two and three out scoring Dallas 7-2 here in the second hey before two more time goes along I want to wish Debbie Antonelli who does all the TV you know for the fever and for so many other reasons in broadcasting happy 60th birthday Debbie anelli you're blessing to this game he definitely is we did the wbl together and the AO oh my gosh and andc state and playing and does so much for charity she's great Wings regain the lead mag menley out front being guarded by Howard takes the big Euro Step no colani poked it into the hands of Sheldon JY Sheldon also as you heard out of the Ohio state has been starting the game SE 's been coming in for defensive purposes Howard sof touch off the glass what a beautiful pass by Sheldon I know her sister Em's in the crowd with her family cheering her on that's going to be a grab against JC on Caitlyn Clark quickly picks her up Park two of six shooting She's Got Five Points inside Smith launches Smith's got eight and that pass didn't look so sexy but let me tell you what the fact that Caitlyn Clark was probing probing and just waiting for that space to open up and then for the player to be a willing receiver vacated Clark got a couple of assists he leads the WNBA in assist per game at 8.3 Kanani's got to get the pink shoes all tied up tied up ready to go and we are set clonnie Brown played over in Israel uh many years to hone her game came back here and look what she's doing Mitchell on sofu the big step what a play JC Sheldon kept it alive still kept it alive what a hustle play by Sheldon Pani over dtis no that's going to be a block but what a play by JC Sheldon yeah this thing was traml Brandy P one of the assistants we're talking they said listen she is a stout defensive player quick hands always wants the ball and I think we saw it on that last play you're absolutely right she's quicker and bigger by the way than you think but her foot she is such a great athlete and quickness you know I mean long quick she gets in your face and the most important thing she's not afraid she has no fear nope here's Mitchell gets a step out of R satu shows Hall the pullup jumper got it Lexi Hall first field goal of the afternoon and she has been so hot last six games she's averaged 11 and shot 62% yeah she just knows where to find her shots good offensive rebounder as well now some of you probably cringed when colani took that shot but she actually has hit that a number of times this year that'll be a kick she keeps telling me she's going to hit a three haven't seen it yet has she mentioned that to LT or only you I know I know TI maaan will check back into the lineup maau with five rebounds hasn't scored yet only taking a shot how about chrisy Christy sides done a great job with this team oh yeah and just trying to instill that winning mentality you know their president you know Lyn Dunn one of the all-time great coaches in our game who's been with the fever for years when a championship when they had to Catchings Tak the jumper I I I think ly Dunn will be a Hall of Famer should be in the Smith Hall of Fame Mitchell looked like a double dribble but Mitchell with the left hand she's got 15 in the ball game I'm going to need to see that again because that was a that was a swift move she could have used that maybe a Rucker Park there you go that's a that's a beautiful move Lexi Hall you talked about the discipline on defense she showed he he's he's a a Sant and he does have a new book coming out yeah he does I'm going to be there I'm going to be there I'm in the book by by toste of all the announcers I've worked with Ron's the most recent hey I wrote the forward but I'm a point guard oh there we go wheeler ER wheeler checked into the lineup they don't lose any speed that'll be a turnover that's number eight against Indiana and and JC did that again she she understands a angles she's quick she got there she bodied her up and uh helped create that turnover arque just one of three shooting here in quarter number two after hitting five threes in the second matat [Music] secet nice pass inside maau just uses her body on Boston it's a nice play right there sometimes you have to drive with intent to draw to pull the defense in then you kick it out they run out and mallen's open boy Boston and maau are going at each other I thought there was going to be a foul call by somebody arque the hesitation pump fake floats it got it 19 first half points for arque yeah I might have heard her say take that Ron I might have I'm not sure see they blame us when we jinx them but when we say something where they come back nobody goes you know you really thought that he's amazing unbelievable Mitchell satu tough cover for her Mitchell no h the rebound saw the Seas part takes advantage of it this is a very entertaining game and the crowd here is just loving this you know go back to Lexi Hull because you and I were talking to chrisy sides prior to the game that's what she said about Lexi Hall Olympic break really benefited the Indiana Fever because they had time they had time to watch film together to to read what they did right what they had to do better and build team chemistry and uh as coach said they have joy and they're playing with joy well they broke down areas that were with chrisy side set Open Whistling a foul here's a I think the big stat Dallas has only turned the ball over five times Indiana has not capitalized which they usually do because of Caitlyn Clark Indiana they've turned it over eight times Dallas has 10 points off their turnovers we have to keep playing that because that's so in a game like this where it's going just back and forth teams have really not been to the foul line very much in the first half because it's been Pace Duncanville also taking advantage of the foul shooting which right now the wings are are dominating in free throws Clark knocks down her second three of the ball [Applause] game she's got eight and a couple of assists what a game she had against Chicago oh my gosh career high 31 points 12 assists and the win Sheldon can't get it SPI pulls it away JY no field goals the last couple of games 250 to play Clark no place to go nice defense shelvin Smith nice move the way she cut the ball so nobody could slap it away well Smith is really tremendous big strong can take you off the dribble can shoot the three between her and Boston that's pretty formidable Howard had it poked away nice D by Smith Caitlin on one side she wants it she got it she LS it and did I mention she can pass Smith yeah really let me just cap this off I know uh sioban said a four time Champion with the the Houston comments four time Finals MVP two time scoring champ 2600 points and arque iron sharpens iron and you are doing your thing the 10th 15th 20th and 25th anniversary Fe Dallas fighting back after Indiana went on a 70 run but they Indiana has made their last six field goal at as we saw arque with her sixth from Beyond The Arc one off her career high she's got 22 in the first half 4 second difference shot of the game clock Clark launches back of the iron Wings go up ahead to arque and arque got it that was a heads up play by maau to arque ique going six of nine St to was one of five and that's been a problem for Indiana 50% of their opponent points opponent points have been mid-range inside that's going to be 3 seconds let's check in with sioban heren little update here at halftime yes I was able to talk to head coach Latricia tral after the half and she told me hey the Indiana Fever have seven offensive rebounds and that just won't cut it she says the team needs to play better defense and Nancy and Ron she says hey when we execute and play together we're Unstoppable and they're coming off obviously their best three- game stretch and best game defensively when they played Minnesota on top satu with three on the shot clock nothing but the bottom of the neck satu was one of eight Nancy in the first half that's a good sign for the wings it's a great sign but the fact that they put the ball inside it makes the player guarding satu drop down and and head and Jab and then you kick it right out and you get a three Boston tries to take it on maau who goes down hard then they Tire up that'll be a jump ball and a recap you know and and the coaches preach to TI maau and kadi brown for that matter you got to grab the ball you got to hold on to it or keep it up high right or keep it up high and grasp it bring it down low you're going to cause problems all right we're going to do that this going to be the Ron Thulin drill tomorrow at the Dallas Wings basketball camp we're going to rebound and we're going to keep it high and it's your it's your play seven years doing the NBA with Yu I was in a basketball camp every day with him Mitchell outside and she's got another three her second of the ball game to move to 18 for the game when a player is in this type of Rhythm it's unbelievable and they have to keep firing Dallas has got to pass the basketball they can't afford to go one shot and go the other way Smith on the F Second Chance [Applause] points but still the pace of the game is good and you know in the first half by and Lords both teams are getting the ball up the floor off the rebound within three seconds that's good ball movement and satu another three here second and the half nice pass from tiarra she knows and when you keep your head up as the big you can see the the big coming at you Clark no here is Howard Howard one on Three going to wait for the truths talking about their passing in the second game against New York just a week or so ago they were averaging less than one pass in 50 possessions that had to change and it did the last three games I think is playing so well right now and oh my goodness The Olympian for Germany satu saali what a shot she has she's worked on that for so long Ron eight in the first half six here in the second check that yeah that's right six in the second Smith spins got it Smith doing her part she's got 14 in the ball game well the fact [Music] that the fact that the wings have doubled up pretty much the fever in three-point attempts mean how about arque just tied her career high Nancy and three-pointers made that's seven for her and you know I was looking to see what the adjustment was going to be uh for for Coach sides in this team Clark comes back at answers I saw the adjustment just now Clark with 15 to go along with her five assists obviously hands down the favorite Rookie of the Year for good reason you know I love where the game of basketball is in the W the read and react most teams are similar in how they play you know Concepts and Concepts become plays Howard needed that and here comes JC Sheldon Clark trailing that's going to be a hard foul are they going to look at it I think committed against Caitlyn amazing yeah I mean there's been five in 32 games but you you it's a very physical League there's talented athletes across the board and Casey sheld is one of them Jason sh Jason Sheldon saying that I think I can help this team even more than I've done she has really come along the last couple of weeks of the Season lead is seven biggest lead of the game for the wings biggest lead for Indiana has been four tough defense on Clark that's a tough shot can't get it arque sneaks behind Smith up ahead Flash oh face to suu and takes it herself what a move by Natasha Howard from three getting everybody involved here is Hall has it poked away nice defense satu on top Smith they close they show the double Boston no nice job maau pulling out her ninth rebound this great defense in this quarter by the Wings doing a great job Mark's got it the lead is nine biggest lead for either team this afternoon that's going to be a kick ball that's not as good is the kick that arque had a couple of years ago yeah she had a good one but I thought this was FC Dallas my fault I wasn't sure what game we're at but so I want to get back to the defense uh LT doing a great job with her basketball team making sure they're going over screens at the appropriate time Howard with a rejection that's her first of the ball game you and I were chat you know when I walked in here before the game there were just hundreds of fans lined up oh yeah what Caitlyn Clark has done for the game is is generational and I just as a as a baller to a baller I just want to say thank you to you Caitlyn Clark absolutely for just lifting our game up you and so many great players but what you're doing you're going to make all these women multi-millionaires one day like tiger did like Michael Jordan did and we shouldn't hate on her we should celebrate her not tolerate her arque to pull up no offensive rebound shot you can't get it up ahead Clark beautiful pass to Mitchell you talked about it at the open you're going to continue to see this throughout the season hey by the way if keep make the playoffs you do not want to play this team in a series a short series that is going to be a problem with Boston with Smith with Paul with Caitlyn and arque got a new career high and three-pointers made her eighth of the game she's got 30 in the ball game her 63-point effort today and then Mitchell fouled by arque they're going to replay it arque cannot believe Dallas Wings B and Mitchell once again two free throws to make one now they get the ball Wheeler's got not wheeler but Mitchell has the most beautiful shot you know lefties always have whether you're bowling or pitching or throwing a football Ley just have that smoothness about them what is it well this is going to bector yeah right I have no idea now this is going to be the flagrant one it was ruled arque is just in a groove right now I know she didn't even want to sit down because she just wants to be out there because she's having this career game in every big game arque just lights up TV because people get to see how great she is and she's so young and she's [Music] hungry and arque they're going to have to sit her down we don't see arque actually kind of you know we know with her relationship with Kobe now Indiana with a Chance pull within one or even tie it up bark inside can't be grabbed Here Comes Natasha Howard Sheldon getting the majority of the playing time Mo she's had in the three-game win streak that's going to be a foul as Natasha Howard flies out of the pack fouled by Clark that'll be her second personal and orque is going to come back into the lineup again already a career-high eight three-pointers made 30 for arque and a really great award Wess of you know by coach traml because you don't want to keep somebody who is so hot and playing so great on the bench when they've just been crushing it Boston Alissa Smith her third satu looking for her 20th Point good hustle arque can't come down with it Indiana will have it you know what arque is a really fantastic rebounder for a guard but she is a two-way player she plays so hard on the defensive end 12 bow run now for Indiana trying to expand on that arque tough ballway can't get it Smith rips it away her eighth board two away from a double double for Nelissa Smith Smith 13 double doubles last year she's got seven this year whistle and a foul see the one thing that Caitlyn Clark of many things not just one she dribbles at the defender so the defender's instinct is to step up and help the minute you dribble at the defender you go back door and there's no help if you have Shooters on the weak side a great play and it ends up in Caitlin CL getting her 19th Point that's a great out of bounds play because on the other side it was was an open an open Corner the corner was not filled with a player Howard faces up on Smith backs are down Clark showed the double Jeffrey Smith Blows the Whistle calls the calls the foul you know we keep talking about the IQ and the EQ the you know intellectual intelligence of reading how the defense is playing you don't if there's young players out there don't play the play play the game good point play the game and read what is in front of you and coaches will want you on the floor now Christie sides wants a little explanation from Jeffrey Smith Jeffrey joined by Tim Green the crew chief Sarah Williams well they're going to call that a flagrant I think always was out of Defense in 3 [Applause] seconds now they're saying offensive foul Kelsey Mitchell and arque has got 31 one and Dallas will have the ball out once again you just got to take advantage of these these opportunities because this game is so tight arque by the way had a 40o game against Phoenix back in May how about that maaan again and you mentioned it the other night against Minnesota she missed at least five or six from right underneath yeah those are the ones she's just got got to put down how about that defensive play for mque that's a great play cuz she came all the way over if I'm correct from the weak side to help on that back door cut Indiana but that's only five here in the third they had nine in the opening half which led to 12 points for Dallas 206 to play here in quarter number three yeah we really haven't uh seen aiyah Boston get involved in this game and she's part of that big three here's a great example for Natasha Howard she has not had the big scoring that she's had the last three games but the aggressiveness she just showed basically saying I'm going to I'm going to go in here and I have to go to the line but I'm going to make something happen well she's going to do whatever it takes to win whether it's setting that screen on the curl just now for sat two she's she's really a selfless player you know she knows how to win she's done this before fouls going to BU on Boston and that'll be her third personal foul Jo visit Dallas wings.com you know I look at uh Katie L Sam samelson who's in the game played at Yukon won the National Championship in 2016 with Gino second all time in threes made so that's right so now we've been talking for a while now that the three-point shooting has been a struggle in this game for the fever and that's where Christy goes okay I got to put another three-point shooter on the floor well Dallas did a great job against Minnesota three-point shooting they came in hot Dallas really guarded the three-point uh line well in that contest well you know that was one thing that uh coach TRL said to us is that you must limit their threes that's a bad turnover there you saw Natasha Howard [Music] two time all defense defensive player of the year we saw a couple of great plays in that Minnesota game we just saw one there Howard rebound dtis here's Clark with a minute and a half to play in the third an entertaining third and Dallas is going to have it the hustle play by our and you can get to that eighth spot it's never easy because You' been pushing the boulder up the hill but you can do this it's right in front of you if you're the wings closing in on a minute to play here in the third Clark Sheldon tracks are down D tough call away 13 no arque pulls down the rebound arque seven rebounds and 31 points arque nice job boxing out by Mitchell and she looked like she may have got a little hit of the elbow a little [Music] bit Howard with Sheldon Clark will commit the foul so important on those handoffs or the dhos dribble handoffs if you are the person with the ball you can't keep the ball out with space because the defender is going to step in front you have to have it tight so the the defender hits you do and you hand the ball off and they can turn the corner here's a good coaching move they're going to bring in Matty seis because they want the 40 seconds plus the commercial time between quarters to give somebody a rest it probably is going to be Natasha or satu yeah probably probably what what are you what are you betting here I'm going to go with the satu we'll see Natasha at the line last three games she shot 58% set and his average 23.7 it's going to be satu sitting down once again you win Ron blind squirrel finds an a court every now and then now they're going to tape up the right elbow of Kelsey Mitchell have we mentioned that Rick carile is here coach car with the Pacers coming and supporting have have you been watching him by the way because when the game's going on he's nervous yeah he's yeah he's at the edge of his seat sitting next to Cara BB wife of Greg BB but he's he's kind of s like he's coaching the game well one of the great things of many about Coach Carlow is that he is such a supporter of women's Athletics and the W and this guy is the president of the NBA players the coaches association oh that by the way sorry coach carile but in her off seon during the Olympic break Caitlyn Clark worked on her floater just inside the lane we all lamented that she didn't have a floater she now has a floater how about Clark she's got 21 of the ball game and there's colani from the [Applause] outside Brown final six seconds Clark Sheldon has done a nice job Clark for three no the follow and the buzzer what a play by Timmy F benley boy that was a great hustle play we're going to take a look at it again you talk about a hustle play that's exactly what it wasid mentioned earlier the job she has done in her second season was an assistant Atlanta also was an assistant in Indiana great player at Louisiana Tech and Old Miss [Music] Wings by four they've led by as many as [Music] nine Rings led by one and intermission nice pass sh inside and life and social skills coaching and development in addition to her special dish satu has been hosting interns of the month at Wings games all summer long visit cafe.org to learn how how you can support this incredible organization I don't know if you've ever eaten there phenomenal no let me tell you about this uh so Chad Hower who started created Cafe momentum we've known each other done a lot of charity work together uh about a year and a half two years ago he asked me satu actually asked me and I went to Cafe momentum with her and we did a mentoring program she's phenomenal with young people and she just doesn't show up she cares she listens and then she offers just great introspective that's a great pass right there almost a walk by Boston turn gr got it Boston that's only her fourth point of the ball game she had taken only three shots prior to that lead down to four Clark last to touch it shot clock inside of 15 Boston has to put her mark on this game for the fever if they are going to be successful the Rookie of the Year unanimous last year Sheldon no there's the mark you were talking about Boston pulls down the rebound comes in averaging oh just about nine more to game Boston sees an opening satu closes P the basket and a foul at 28 versus the wings in July by the way Caitlyn Clark n with nine assists and the lead is down to [Music] one Sheldon most playing time in a long time and arque can't get it see what happens you give somebody another shot at it there you go and you know satu just playing lights out basketball right now 21 points fourth 20po game in seven games and from way downtown deir danis does have that shot that's her e three-pointer made but you're going to play playing time you have got to have some sort of production and she steps in and she's done this over time for the fever well in the fourth quarter during this three-game win streak that's when the wings have really stepped up big time I mean the stats have been unbelievable right now only outscoring Indiana by three here in the third all picked up for dribble way outside Boston on colani colani didn't byy the first [Applause] PT arque puts the hand up oh that's really good defense of that particular time that's why you don't want to pick up your dribble if you're a baller and satu is going to be fouled on the play but arque put her hand up to kind of get Kelsey Mitchell out the way you know what it's a it's a physical game you're going to have to play through contact and for the wings they reverse the ball to the weak side and then you're going to give it to a first team all WNBA and S to Sab sou to 73% from the strike 22 points for South to again missing the beginning part of the season after shoulder surgery in February did play for Germany was outstanding FEA second team at the Olympics had the 33-point game against [Applause] Japan she's just a hard worker her and arque you you know they do the invisible oh yeah they work when you're not seeing them Park from way out to carries it this has to be the the most quiet 24 points that she's had I agree just decides this part gives us energy keeps it alive knows when to turn it on and then in the pain again that's unbelievable you were saying that Natasha needed to really get involved more on the offensive end three players in double figures park again with another three she just knows how to use the screen you know you push the guard under the level of the screen with your ball with your ball movement and creating space double double for Caitlyn Clark as she comes up with it again 27 and 10 assist for Clark it's a heat check right there yeah Indiana by two arque sees the double dribbles away from it this will CL it [Music] again oh not giving arque any move Howard over Boston whistling a foul out Boston and that'll be her fourth how about these three pointer Howard with 15 of the ball game and six assist though you know now you have your big three with 3123 now and Howard has 15 points so important to have that consistency that Tel Howard two offer season high and [Applause] [Music] assist to tie things up and we are noted up at 84 yeah I keep going to the foul line if you if you don't have the shot you want in your offense 23 times heads up yep Mitchel over Sheldon carries the three her first points of the fourth quarter and they were huge yeah if you're going to switch you got to SM switch to deny and you got to jump it because she is too good man Kelsey Mitchell has a quick release we talking about her foot speed the speed of her shot seven straight 20po games in Indiana record for a season she's got 28 in the ball game four of six from Beyond The Ark is it amazing she's had such a a a great career but nobody really talked that much about her and the three goes down arque her ninth threep pointer she's got 34 tied up at 87 it it seriously is this dope what she could do when she has the basketball in space seven ties eight lead changes will it be nine no colani nice position lost it got it back 433 to play in regulations these two teams will meet again in Indianapolis in September and we will be there Indiana wanted to travel but JC Sheldon gets her eighth [Applause] point no field goals made the last two games for Jac but she has been a top tonight dtis uses the backboard it's unbelievable this is playoff as fear playoff basketball everything you do you must at least be able to get a shot but be careful on your turnovers great assist right there by Caitlyn Clark Stacy shelvin had a couple of big threes in the first spe between these two teams that's going to be a travel chrisy sides just set a new record for theque oh gosh bark hesitates Sheldon stays wither nice job defensively maau getting a hand on it 327 to play in regulation yeah this game is what a great battle uh you know really compliments to the to the discipline and the passion of the players they're know they know what they're fighting for here 19 lead changes nine times or nine ties 19 lead changes Mitchell with 30 in the ball game arque a Dallas Wings record three-pointers made that's going to be a foul [Applause] underneath let's check in with sioban heren on the sideline R Mitchell season high is 38 I should say a career high is 38 Ron you said it I think right after halftime you said you know Natasha Howard needs to get more involved in the offense and she has and she now has 17 points and eight assists and two rebounds couple steals it's just what she does for this basketball team you know she has the mentality of what else what else can I do 12 in the second half for Natasha Howard [Applause] [Music] three minutes to play in regulation both teams trying to get their fourth straight win Clark no whistle at a foul that'll be on arque that'll be her second you know she's you know she's ending up at the foul line and she's going to get her shots but to me it's better than her just shooting threes and changing the momentum of this game for C absolutely and that's again the two keys you can't have Caitlyn Clark and Kelsey Mitchell just go crazy today they have both for the most part yeah they're they're electric this Indiana team I believe they're going to win a championship somewhere in the near future they're young they're the second youngest team in the WNBA they remind me a little bit of the Oklahoma City Thunder who are the second Young team in the NBA with Talent inside no they're going to call that a travel and that was a late call but it it might be the right call but it was a late call again juel Lloyd Kelsey Mitchell both with nine three-pointers made in their career arque trying to set the record [Applause] [Music] Clark off the foot Sheldon came up with it Sheldon with her third steal of the ball game every possession counts Howard spins off the glass no loose ball foul against Indiana that was the message that Latricia traml told her team prior to this three-game win streak she had the positive side she goes we are not out of it but you have to Value every possession from now on well the message is clear and it's happening because right there casy Sheldon is guarding and she's getting up underneath Caitlyn Clark and sometimes the ball just gets [Applause] loose and macallen did a great job as Howard was turning to shoot she's moving you under the basket you're not going to win that war you've got to stop her before she can you know create her space and a whistle and a foul Mitchell goes down hard one-point lead for Indiana and the turnover is going to be on Mitchell chrisy side Squad hanging in there they're shooting 53% of this ball game they're winning points in the paint [Music] inside satu HS can't get it Sheldon digging at it Sheldon digging at it we're going to have a jump ball that's a hustle play that's always those 5050 balls who's going to get them who's just bending over at the waist and who's diving for the ball and Sheldon is always diving for the ball you know everybody talks about it tight basketb games you probably have used the line who's going to get those 50/50 balls the last 2 minutes well you have to that's part of the the defense that's part of multiple efforts right offense is multiple actions defense is multiple efforts and I think they're making sure the shot clock and everything is synced up I think they're going to they're going to give a fresh 24 they put 14 on the shot clock should have been [Music] 24 faer with two time outs left Dallas with two timeouts left Mitchell sabali to beat watch for the pullup there it is and she buries the [Music] three 33 for Mitchell Dallas can't answer loose ball foul that's going to go against tiarra maaan clutch 140 left [Music] Boston on maau flash shows the double not going to come with it that's going to be a double dribble Wings will have it down by four that's probably a kick out yeah you know there's nothing nothing there that free to call me or hit me on Instagram or Twitter and i' love to have that conversation with you she's flat out not just that she's in the MVP conversation in this league and we just you know Candace Parker was Rookie of the Year and MVP of the WNBA her first year here is arque off balance no fighting for it Mitchell comes down with it 115 to play Beaver no timeouts Wings have two timeouts left and the foul is going to be called against the wings that'll be on Natasha Howard and now they'll go down the other end Mitchell will shoot free throws perfect this afternoon four of four from the line you know this is where whatever happens on these foul shots the Wings come down you have to attack you either have to attack to the rim draw the defense and then kick it out for a three from Mitchell or from Caitlyn all from Hall again Mitchell 38 her career high K 2019 versus Connecticut and the lead goes to six that is actually the biggest lead that Indiana has had this afternoon Wings will have it using the reset with 115 left it the game don't necessarily need a three you just need a good possession Howard launches the three Sierra win for so to toque and it'll be Indiana's basketball yeah that's probably wasn't the shot that you're looking for but it's easy to say when you're sitting here at the table right and you're not in the flow of the game and you're pressing for some points coming into this game Natasha was just four of 22 from three over the last 11 games I'm probably keeping the ball right there in uh Caitlyn's hands Jas with a big pick on shelv tries to cover up Lexi Hall no 45 seconds the lead is a half a dozen hque tried to cut it in half Hall with a big rebound and the foul by Tiara maau boy she's been hitting that shot all game one of the great coaches in the history in this uh League I think he might be the all-time leader in wins and won a Champions h mark knocks it out of Sheldon's hands arque quickly in bounds Howard to satu to the left got it with [Music] 317 lead down to Six Clock working against the wings Indiana trying to go for their fourth consecutive win and go over yeah they travel well and she's beloved Caitlyn Clark all over the country they have sold out every game they've played in this year except three Indiana ahead arque forcing it inside no maau and Clark will have it with 12 and that's going to do it so the Indiana favor will go over 500 17 and 16 extend their win streak to four Dallas will have their three-game win streak SNA
