the numbers you play to the stats of your opponent the sky started out four for four from three and then played more to their percentages after that start Diamond to Shields I think was trying to I don't know if she was getting subbed out of the game she's over by the sideline talking to Teresa Weatherspoon Caitlyn Clark makes good on the free throws a new season High 31 points and a new career high for Caitlyn Clark the third 30-point game of the season and an enemy territory gets this kind of salute as she exits the game is this enemy territory because I've seen a lot of Caitlyn Clark jerseys in downtown Chicago today supposed to be enemy territory but you can argue nothing is enemy territory completely when the fever's on the road loyal fans buy the tickets and they follow this team wherever they go Dantes from up top [Applause] [Music] so the Chicago Sky one and five after returning from the break there's Reese with a bucket Angel Reese with seven points to go with her 10 rebounds remember she's sitting on 22 double doubles [Music] 23 would be a new rookie single season record tied with Tina Charles here right now it's nice to see Christy Wallace getting some action yeah Wallace dnp seven of the last eight games and really only about a minute of play in that's Seattle game on August 18th Banna Turner getting set to check in reese with her seven points trying to cross over benley and benley whistled for the foul Reese will have two free throws when we come back a quick timeout from wintrust Reese will be at the free throw line when we return the fever have tied a season High 98 points that they put up Caitlyn Clark a a large part of that the Dick Sporting Goods gamechanging moment I mean there's a there's a bunch of Caitlyn Clark moments we can pick them tonight but Anand one chance where she had some fun with the crowd in the first half well it's just so nice to see her having fun to see her and her teammates having fun with one another remember this is a team that started the season 1 and eight and now they are the hottest team in the WNBA since the Olympic break yeah the Link's right up there as well but you know the fever with with a with a great turnaround you know had a had a tough start to the season we mentioned the 11 games in 20 days very little if any practice time at the start and a lot of those 11 games against Connecticut Liberty the ASO sprinkled in I mean they have beaten Seattle they've beaten Connecticut they've beaten Phoenix during this this hot stretch those are three teams that are in the top half of the league but really if we want to go back since mid June the Indiana Fever had the third best record in the WNBA beating Connecticut Wednesday and have been done since 2021 for the fever wheeler to dtis looking for 100 points here tonight wheeler that hesitation into the corner a look for Saxton getting her first minutes Victoria Saxton another South Carolina product there's Onan and Onan with 17 points so she's had 15 or more points in the last three games for the sky Grace burger with her first minutes the fever have cleared their bench wheer with three on the shot clock and the rebound to Turner Angel Rees still in in the game sitting with eight points and 10 rebounds the next bucket would give her her 23rd double double be the most for a rookie in a single season she's going for it tripoline off the drive spins bucket is good 23 double doubles on the season another rookie record for Reese it's not always pretty but she finds a way she was tied with Tina Charles coming into tonight Saxon gets another look that time from the other side 20-point Advantage for the fever bana to Onan W and she gets the end one a free throw coming up well on Barbie night shaian Barbie setting another record and doing it in her new exclusive reok shoes Angel Reese it's like I said it's not always pretty but she finds a way and I and I think that's more of a testament to her greediness to her [Applause] [Music] resiliency 23 double doubles also a sky record as well she was tied with Sylvia fouls at that 22 Mark between these two rookies I swear I feel like one or the other is breaking a record every night Caitlyn Clark just set the three-point record for a rookie the other night Dantes drawn the foul against Reese couple free throws coming Angel Reese is fifth coming up in our second game Brianna Stewart the Liberty Head to Seattle to take on juel Lloyd in the storm it's the WNBA on ION Friday nights all season long Liberty one of the teams that's already clinched a playoff birth you know Seattle in the aces with an opportunity with a win maybe some help if they don't get the win to try to do it tonight clinch a playoff birth and Chicago they're still in there they are fighting for their playoff lives they are clinging on to that e e seed 100 points for the fever the last time they scored 100 last year Jefferson in and out Reese battling for another rebound but tosses it away last time the fever scored 100 points September 1st of last season nearly a year ago [Music] Burger here's Angel penetrating again off the glass and again more free throws coming there's no question that Chicago missed Kennedy Carter tonight there's I mean we've we've ascertained that the numbers speak for themselves but there's a another player that Chicago is missing that we've kind of forgotten about and that's Elizabeth Williams Elizabeth Williams she was having the best season statistically of her career before she went down to her miniscus out the rest of the season and Williams watching From the Bench did that somewhat early in the first half of the season final few seconds Caitlyn Clark a career High nights the fever put up a 100 and take the series from
