scored 13 points while Kelsey Mitchell added 18 points for Indiana falling two points short of her seventh straight game with 20 points man they're playing ex well that back court Kelsey Mitchell uh Caitlyn Clark they're doing an unbelievable job C uh uh Kelsey Mitchell had 36 yesterday as you mentioned Molly um Caitlyn Clark had 28 and 12 and she's been playing outstanding basketball um man that's a tall task even just making the playoffs is a feet in and of itself considering they hadn't been above 500 or above in four years but when you look at the Liberty they're in the first spot the Connecticut suns in the second spot the Minnesota links in the third spot Odyssey Sims scored 20 points to lead the Sparks 726 R Stevens had 13 points and 11 rebounds D hamy and Ray Burl each scored 16 and Clark's effort was the main event the Indiana fever's Collective effort was equally impressive as a team trying to make a name for itself in the league they played with tenacity and fortitude throughout the match and their capacity to remain composed under duris and perform What mattered most ultimately helped and win I don't believe they can knock off one of the top three teams I honestly don't I think they can take a game I think they can take maybe a game or two uh off one of them um Liberty if they move up to you know obviously they keep moving up but if they if they keep playing the way they're playing I just love the backourt with Mitchell and Clark because they can light you up they can go get 60 between the two of them but I I I that's a tall task to beat one of those formidable top four seeds the fever who were led by their veteran core and featured young Talent displayed a well-rounded offensive and defensive performance they were especially successful in limiting Clark's touches and forcing the Sparks into difficult shots in the game's final minutes the fever's attacking strategy was a well-rounded assault and various players made significant contributions at crucial times major major props to Mitchell that girl can play she's something special okay give her some love she deserves it no question about it but but but but but she can bald make no mistake about it you understand she doing some things she doing her thing major Pro but I must say sh Shay I I'm disappointed in you and and and Molly I'm disappointed in you I'm just because we this first time what happed we we we the the the kind of heat that me he and Shannon have had to take Molly what's up you because here's where I'm at Molly where all the ladies at their ability to move the ball well and penetrate the paint allowed them to hold onto their lead and their ability to stretch the defense with timely three-pointers and aggressively grab rebounds on both ends of the Court allowed them to dictate the game's pace and restrict the number of spark Second Chance opportunities the fever's defense which failed to contain Clark for the majority of the game was also a major factor in their victory what did what did I say I me who's the bad guy sh sh and me we were the bad guy sh sh me and you we were talked about this girl K Clark oh let let me let me throw this up by the way was that anybody didn't think was going to be successful or not play it was just that we felt the other players in the W deserve shine as well m Molly Molly I said really Molly wow they prevented other players from stepping up by applying pressure to the spark Supporting Cast their defensive rotations were Nimble and they had good communication which made it difficult for the Sparks to find easy scoring opportunities this match was not just about individual records and Milestones rather it was a match between two teams trying to establish themselves in Del NBA the Indiana Fever who have been rebuilding for years are starting to emerge as a contender on the other side the Los Angeles Sparks despite the setback are a dangerous club with lots of Firepower led by Caitlyn Clark there young core paired with experienced veterans has given them a balanced group that can compete with the greatest teams in the league the Sparks have one of the most dynamic players in the league capable of winning any game yet if they want to win these close games they'll need to keep improving their chemistry and figure out better ways to compliment Clark this game also demonstrated the wnba's increasing parity as more teams are able to compete at a high level both the fever and the Sparks demonstrated their capacity to challenge for the playoffs and these kinds of contests will be

Caitlyn the fever are playing better basketball the last month but they still haven't beaten a team with better than 500 record an opportunity to do it this afternoon in Phoenix Caitlyn Clark going up against Diana terasi and Britney Griner for the footprint Center is a very hard place to play you guys got the win what was the mindset going into this one to get a dub I think we were just resilient you know when they they punch Us in the mouth we always found a way to answer um I think people stepped up when their number was called and they were yeah it's really exciting uh it's not surprising um I think it was important that you know we we valued ourselves in this negotiation it's certainly helpful uh to have this rookie class you know led by Caitlyn uh who you know is sort of driving um you know the the media the the interest um the business and and so I think making sure that I said this in the beginning of the Season what can the WM do we can take advantage and and not sell our uh I can tell you it's disappointing I I don't know the answer for it um you know I think your commitment Through The Years in covering women's sports is not shared by um you know the the broader media in our Market um you know we've improved our coverage in our market for sure um but it is not at the level uh that it should be at this point uh given the magnitude of the events that we have had uh whether it's uh you know WNBA championships you know multiple times and and you know whether it's when we hosted the All-Star Game whatever it I think it was important that you know we we valued ourselves in this negotiation it's certainly helpful uh to have this rookie class you know led by Caitlyn uh who you know is sort of driving um you know the the media the the interest um the business and and so I think making sure that I said this in the beginning of the Season what can the WNBA do we can take advantage and and not sell ourselves short and and also have a vision for the F uh it's hard to know just yet I think uh you know kind of getting everybody you know here for the first time we practiced a couple times and and play a game that we knew you know was going to be loaded with talent and and uh you know we we weren't we weren't good at what we were trying to get done defensively um but we also know there's really good offensive players on the other side sometimes we played great defense and it didn't matter and uh what did I learn about them I don't necessarily know the answer to that just yet uh I'm going to learn in the you know weeks what did we learn from from tonight and how can we use it to to fuel us and um be introspective about you know uh buy into what we're trying to get done and and how we all can collectively do better and uh you know use tonight's experience to be able to you know put us in a position to be successful as the last time when when this team lost um in 20 I mean I think it's been you know it's been happening you know prior even to to this team um this momentum this wave you know that we're feeling has been sort of this kind of Journey for women's basketball um to get the attention uh that it is um you know getting yeah and you know we haven't really got that layered yet and so I think we have really good basketball players that know how to play uh can do things that are unscripted you know some of the actions that you were talking about you know where they're just playing after the initial uh movement that we get and and uh playing different lineups um versatility each position I think that's incredibly valuable being able to play big some of the challenges and I I told a group you know you certainly don't want to make excuses cuz we've we've all played basketball for a long time but I'm big in into muscle memory and the muscle memory of a lot of our players um playing for their existing teams that they just finished playing for
