Liberty this year Stewart for three and so easier opportunities Kelsey Mitchell another deep one and so and she just reaches and gets a little out of position and then after the fact Stewie Bri started the first four games of the Season playing that three position here for the Indiana Fever and Samson pulls down the re to Lany Hamilton and Caleb foron that's not exactly a text book but she gets the bucket anyhow back door lock erer Corner look Wallace puts it up Christy Wallace and give Indiana a chance to score to end the quarter here here's an opportunity you got to get the five team files to get in the bonus Clark left all alone and stepped on the sideline for the turn turning it over quite a bit moreing Hamilton along two knocks it down in the fin four to 18 that's the end of the first quarter and the is right now Indiana out rebounding New York 14 and two and this is a New York team that 3 minutes in cting Caitlyn Clark thought about pulling the trigger gets it right back and still can't end that drop feish has been an important addition here for the Liberty but coming off of a year had a baby last year yes yes we can all relate here right enormous it's so hard deire DZ pointed her second game for the fever is going to have to let it fly for three and the second foul and Alissa Smith Clark looking to challenge Stewart maybe not that long wingspan turning her away but we they Burke has checked in Kennedy Burke for the Liberty coming off the bench nice seal and the reverse first year with the liberty and the WNBA feish the rookie defending the other rookie CIT Clark I can attest to that very good it's like the only trivia question I've ever lost that's awesome C A much needed now she's got the mismatch with wheeler Defender andw looks it off to Kayla Thon for three a single season fever franchise rookie record very impressive Thon with the put back off the glass Vander SLO and the nany Hamilton at times six here to shoot wheeler off the glass Jones here so far we're approaching the Midway point of the second quarter CL much room to get that shot off and the Liberty turn it over once and to win it this year they' got the pieces they've got the horses this season to put second in attemps New York Liberty one for seven from three in this corner so that's what they'll do they'll take it inside Kennedy Burke will get you about a bucket Off the

Boston looking to end that rims out games please go to wnba.com or visit the WNBA app Clark feeding the post down to Boston who goes right at Jones and Jones clear Fever The Liberty had not LED yet in this first half read off of each other it's hard to cover them both you got to pick your poison onqu they're clamping down a little bit onqu zon is getting bodied up by a Le of Boston like see how high she is that's better that's good defense from Boston she's trying to off the play wasn't and the Liberty have climbed all the way from a 12-point deficit yonescu from distance not better today in particular in the last game against Minnesota didn't know she would even play and [Music] Smith Caitlyn Clark 13 points pocket pass to aiah Boston Boston has eight points Clark has seven assists to go with a 13 re or 13 points as Stewart draws the foul urgency the physicality sometimes New York struggles with that physicality back to Smith again driving Baseline out to Kelsey Mitchell flips it over to Boston the yonescu took a peek inside instead a cross court pass CA Corton chases down their own l no challenge interesting so be Liberty basketball here with eight to shoot Stewart try foul some points and get herself to the line I love it onepoint Advantage for the fever going into this possession shot still in play Lany Hamilton Hamilton Lany Hamilton does a pretty good job staying very physical with her so 10 point7 to play from the sideline Indiana Fever the kick out in the corner Kelsey Mitchell gets left half I thought they were doing that in the beginning of the game especially the first quarter they were missing those and that was a well they battled from being all the way down from 12 points and the fever seeking their first win against the Liberty in some time tday Courtney Vander SL whips the pass to Hilton can't get that corner three-pointer that's normal that off the ball movement knowing where to slice it to space bander slute a little hesitation and courney Vander another one up Kelsey Mitchell with the hand off out to Katy L samel said offensively in terms of her shot but she always gets people involved Caitlyn Clark misses her first shot of the second [Applause] ycu up against Samson light that match up and finds a cutting Lane Hamilton double figure scores for the Liberty Clark feeding Samson out of that double team and that was a credit yonescu off the Stewart screen that's a two does not force shots she takes what the defense gives hero Stewart that they've been good out throughout the season is creating matchup problems let these starters kind of work through their foul trouble a little bit throws for Brianna Stewart now 24th all time on the WNBA scoring list and the Liberty looking for more yonescu it's number one team in the league for no reason and Smith taks it inside can't get it Jo possessions this [Applause] [Music] quarter Caitlyn C to SMI a rocket and Boston lays it in for third straight double double 13 points 10 assists Thea Laney Hamilton so T ycu in the lane the floater around and around it falls Stewart again forces a turnover I noticed Sabrina's got the ball in her hands and they would know where to go so it's only enhanced the way they play guys and I thought that was really interesting cuz sh clock F time out you know that Christy s Drew something up a good defense that has been what they scored on nine of 12 possessions here in the third they've been fantastic John Cole Jones looking to add two of the round in the round but it eight rebounds and five points for John Cole Jones youu two Jones Kayla Thon with the three-point left here today six to shoot for the fever four to shoot Smith playe still to split the double team working around the perimeter yonescu pen trting and lost her thoron here tries to get around that screen reverse rollers that time it's Boston looking for Clark and the back door Clark for [Applause] Pur get that one but persistence paying off Boston gets it right back Kelsey Mitchell throws the three Indiana is sticking with it by doing the little things nesu with the miss CH with another opportunity here for the Liberty P Laney Hamilton knocks down the three found the shoot Boston with the blow Boston faces up against Stewart kicks it back out here comes Hall with the pull up with three on the shot clock final few seconds of the third quarter Liberty f up five Liberty up seven Laney H double and that would be the first in WWA history true for rookie remarkable without fouling here that's something she's been working on she told us before the game is not fouling oh what a tough shot yonescu nine-point lead the largest lead for the Liberty Caitlyn Clark shot only two times in that third quarter that's her defense has been far surpassing the first half Brianna Stewart again now she did a good job getting herself she's got to continue to do this is what could make the New York Liberty in the league that at any point under f up but Thon switches out on her and Clark gives it up one second on the shot clock Boston with a prayer and the eighth rebound for Caitlyn Clark the runner falls off the glass post up for [Applause] Stewart ycu pump fake a three-pointer on the way not there off of the first triple double for rookie in WNBA history Mitchell penetrating to strong hand triple double for a rookie Caitlyn clar has it more history for the that is remarkable no small feet right there there it just it's tough to do all three I mean that's just incredible this crowd was way ort in in Indiana here remember she was one rebound shy Z Jones in trouble finds Thon he finds Kennedy Burke not normally known for her three and bur's got five points Off the Bench Caitlyn Clark trying to reel it deal ttis at a [Applause] three six and some change left the play ycu penetrating so K SMS with the keeper that would have been pretty Tiffany Blackman what more do you have yeah guys I'm standing behind the bench now and it looks like that tape has been removed from her right man it's not the right thumb or anything that's exactly the thumb that she was grasping yeah just the one field goal the second half misses that one Paul giv a f another chance penetrating driving thought about it behind the back will go right at home and do in time two possession game Smith P fake penetrating can't get [Applause] it Smith you see her stat line has done a great EX St with the kick out Lady Hamilton silen her eight to shoot Mitchell in and out Smith with another offensive rebound gets taed away for oh hard screen Z Jones is in the midd Hamilton defending mix over in a tough spot 1 second and the fourth shot clock y yonescu with 19 points four assists three rebounds and and credit much of the second half here Manny Hamilton for three that's how it's not she had 13 in the first half but has picked up a triple double here today and gets the end run first not an easy shot I mean she's fading away and she's pulled short Clark with her 11th rebound Fe mix off for three this is just bumping right now this is just a tremendous sequence of events for the Indiana Fever with the ball in her hands in transition what a nice play she shoots 40% left to play I mean there are some very prolific scorers on this fever team when you really look at shule pass to Boston and the fever 90 seconds left to play Oh penetrating the reverse B yonescu to Stewart oh it's a t- point Supra with the T come on strong this is just a strong move to the hole see how she switches to that right hand and uses that Liberty trail by one yonescu called defending
