Center number eight Alana Smith at the other forward position number 24 nausa the head coach of your home team and on top tonight it's the Indiana Fever going up against the Minnesota lakes with Brian BMI and Tim Sports I'm Blake suniga and we're thrilled to have you with us and for coaches in the league what would you two say is the biggest challenge well to me it's not about what happens on the floor it's not about even the ex and O it's about the locker room keeping your players happy making sure there are some good vibes and for me not everyone wants to play defense but if 1st Quarter you can get them to you will be rewarded hits it from three-point range now here's Williams guarded by wheeler Diamond Miller for three yes and it's Courtney Williams with the assist that prde covering takes the 13 footer shot by Mitchell no good on the wing Caleb McBride off to a good start as she hits her first shot at can't get much easier than that for Miller she kept her head on a swivel and didn't overthink it also one you shouldn't Miss and the basket by McBride she draws so much attention Williams can find others for easy buckets good dish Mitchell outside they need this drills it from outside that's just to McBride five to shoot and it's off from three-point range here's the fever with the ball they Trail by one good on the Shot elbow shot again Minnesota so much now here's wheeler back to Mitchell yes great play by aiyah Boston to set it up as time goes on now here's Mitchell he's got seven puts up a three and the fever hit again from Deep outside Williams to the middle here's Smith and she takes it in for the layup off a very nice Speedy the correct decision from Courtney Williams we've seen her assist number Mitchell outside Smith over Collier and another basket for Indiana had a hard screen but you also want to make sure it's a legal one now here's Mitchell 10 points for her Mitchell from downtown it's hauled in by Smith inside and that one's good idman to Wheeler Boston to the paint here's Smith first second shot goes in off to a good start and here is heidman now Miller goes up and lays it in nice and easy I know it's fun to sit back and enjoy watching her operate and guess what Miller just five to shoot Nails it just her first attempt it's hauled in by Smith the links trailing here's Carlton yes and it's now Visa CER picking up the assist and you got to give credit to CER for the find her 6-2 height allows her to have a clean view of the Court doesn't miss open teammates pass to con off to a good start as she hits her first shot at and back and forth we go that bucket gives us another lead change and there have been too many of Smith she's guarded by Boston here's heidman and it's Minnesota scoring again Smith outside Hedman he shoots again and that's off the glass and in terrific job to convert the put back uh she uh stayed with that play from start to finish and that's something you say pass to Carlton to the paint Smith a good finish at the rack off the Slick feed a player who can get creative 2nd Quarter offensively outside Williams down low shots good by Smith the plan worked perfectly that possession get an Insight get the high percentage shot and about a minute gone pass to Boston Mitchell the 15 footer and the best offensive era in league history and Mitchell understands her role on this team she's out there to score as often as she Mitchell with it now guarded by Collier pass to Smith that one fall because they were all over her on that look here's Carlton hits the three-point bomb I mean that shot just becomes effortless for her when the defense is so relaxed like that back to Smith and the layup ball he placed that pass right out in front of her and just let her run into it three-pointer and she's still waiting to make her first shot of the night now 0 for four here's Collier and that one drops uses every bit of her strength to overpower the defense Coler does not fear contact got 16 outside wheeler that's in there Kelsey Mitchell with the assist six points for her outside Williams kicks it out to Smith wide open another one Falls for Minnesota with a naturally quick release Smith is an effective option in catch and shoot situation Smith covered by Collier here's wheeler nice concentration to hit the double clutch started by wheeler pass to McBride back to Williams nice pass led him to the rack perfectly for the layup he just does not let stuff like that affect shots Williams has a fi out [Applause] Smith now Carlton Five Points in the game she gets that one Smith here's wheeler the shot drops her shooting for [Applause] percentage back to CER and the layups good off the glass don't let her position or a 6'2 height fool you call your moves like a guard a and that's exactly what she gives you Tim constantly making her presence felt around the rim wheeler and it's good through the contact hit the shot and she'll go to the line both teams de exciting to change it up let's go with a three rebounded by the fever here's wheeler makes it off the GL just for to shoot expanding her range sinks the three-pointer this is a shot that Miller to the middle here's Boston and there the fever with another bucket Miller lays it up and Banks it in another hoop for Diamond Miller she's on fire tonight leaving the defense helpless nice D from nafisa CER terrific job defending the basket that time it's not an easy task stopping her when she's headed to the R yeah I'd say that shot was well within her range I hope so there's nothing like a Williams guarded by Wallace Beyond The Arc and the links another three now Saxton here's wheeler and right away they match it with a three-pointer of by 12 Wallace with the ball Williams there Le of Austin and she's open finds herself wide open back to CER Fades back again Minnesota s to go excellent interior d right there to force the Miss yeah and unlike you Tim her defensive ability is a huge Factor no doubt about it and so that brings the first half to a close 4 links ahead they lead by 12 and we'll be back for the second half following the break keep it right here on 2K 3rd Quarter sports shoots from 12 that one wide left I love the defense they played up hand in her face great job yeah and much like you she is just a tough confident Defender nice pass she got that ball right into her teammate shooting it and he he great shoots over Williams rebound by the [Applause] links CER with it covered by Smith and good that time with strong Court vision and awareness McBride is able to read defenses and find the open here's Mitchell slides right through for her seventh basket now here's Williams she's got seven here's Smith it's good very well now yeah this has been an extremely efficient second half for them up to this point their coach has to be happy Mitchell player to watch 5'8 Williams you know she doesn't take a lot of Threes hero is to slash attack play in the mid-range Courtney gives defenses something they don't really see too much anymore and that really works in her favor wheeler lets the three fly and another three for Indian Smith inside working on Boston shots good by Smith an intimidating interior presence Smith uses her toughness to get her way down low in by CER to the paint here's Williams and here's McBride guarded by wheeler count the basket he got his way through contact to the inside Mitchell shots good she's CER covered by Smith shot clock at two with the shot another one Carlton covered by Smith McBride with the ball yes and it's Courtney Williams with the assist that pass to Mitchell to the middle here's burer and that one goes in as she's fouled it'll be three points if she can convert the free throw foul team burger and it's Minnesota scoring again and here's Carlton outside Miller lots of room and it's Minnesota scoring again perfect screen there set her up with a terrific look yeah but that's a bad job by the defender to not now here's Williams they lead by 23 and that's the most we've seen no problem knocking that one down you know there are certain players who shoot much better off a pass Williams is one of them allows her to set covering here's doesn't go for [Applause] her pass to heidman the shots good Kayla McBride making the play that's terrific use of the bounce pass pass to heidman launches it that's good basket number five on a 5 for eight shooting night I saw a little confusion amongst the D as to who was supposed to be guarding her I'm glad this was the pick because I love this pass such a great dish that's what I call Court vision and with the accuracy to go along with that Vision what has been a one-side show down low here's fleay 4th Quarter Second Chance shot it's deflected and she recovers it and it's good for two Hedman that's her six make from the field she's taken nine shots and missed only three well that pick it worked like a charm a nice job taking it right to the tin for the layup here's Saxton shot to stop the drought and she hits the jump shot [Music] big out to the wing there's the triple and sandal laini is good for three pass to soul from Deep the three-pointer Is On Target Smith outside the three is up offensive rebound Mitchell shots good clock at six here's heidman and yes she's got the English that time she lobs up the aloop pass to the paint here's Soul beautiful dish in the layup goes down it's been all one-way traffic here is they've really been lights out offensively guarded by Williams now Mitchell no one near her count that one that play here's Carlton to the inside and count it two points with a chance for one more at the line it takes a lot of focus to score while getting Courtney Williams with 100% attention on scoring it's her main goal every trip down the court Mitchell she's guarded by Williams kicks it out to Smith launches a three drills the three-pointer Williams pass to Smith and it's Minnesota scoring again Indiana with the ball Courtney now Burger banked in off the glass most guards don't get inside too much pass to Smith from Deep yes it's good looking quite sharp with 10 she loves getting looks like that from three-point range just nobody near her and pass a hole the three ball here's Smith makes the bucket she's now got five field goals here's heidman outside Williams for three good for another basket put up 10 shots and made seven of them man this fourth quarter has been tremendous really for them and what a time to hit the threes now here's burer tries from 10 jump shot is good that time floats one up here's Kun Alissa Smith grabs the Miss well good defense in the paint worth its weight in gold it Absolut Mitchell outside count it just a strong finish through contact so we see the links taking the W here it was a taale of two teams tonight one in Total Control operating Outro flawlessly and the other just searching for answers that they never found the energy here was just tremendous fans involved from the get-go once they started to really pour it on it was fun to see that h
