overs is the last thing that Christy side said to her team in shoot around today is taking care of the basketball not allowing Connecticut to get extra possessions in transition to high level Kelsey Mitchell Fresh Off That season high in Atlanta the fever getting a huge win on Monday to get closer to their playoff hopes and really good spacing you take away the help in that as well Ty Harris in leav a three ball shorts that's a really good job of putting Brion Jon Banna Jones in some ball screen action forcing that switch but but she's the first Clark trying to pick up the pace Clark turns it over good defense there by D Carrington and it's a three-on-one Carrington flips it elist to Thomas HS and draws a f after shoot around she's going into the Maryland Hall of Fame on October 18 three early turnovers for Indiana Harris left alone can't connect on a three ball he were struggling a bit out of the gates here keeping control of the ball he never trailed on Monday night in Atlanta an early six-point hole from gamebridge Fieldhouse here's a Leah Boston's first touch backing her way in and Boston banks it home over that left shoulder Austin had her 11th double double of the season and Clark hits a three so maybe more energy here as Carrington gets inside the step through shot won't fall and Carrington he was hit in the face for baskets unassisted that's an example of an unassisted basket she created off the dribble on her own Jones deep position maybe too far underneath and patch Park is the League's thirdd best coach here for the Indiana Fever as an assistant and a head coach for a couple years hanging out talking Hoops with Steph yeah not going to turn down that invitation no way it was fun that boner shot will not count it's a moving you you can't always blame the screener for that sometimes just the ball handler doesn't wait oh look at that back door beautiful hey trap maybe more than any other team they're aggressive defensively along the perimeter and making the right reads on of boner knocks down a tough shot on the other end here's Clark Boston extra pass Lexi hole barries a threee here out of the Olympic break now 11 of 15 from the three-point line that's 73% but the fever give it away and Carrington with the finish with the rebound H can't finish underneath Boston battling hold picks it up ball is still loose underneath and Alyssa Thomas comes away with it steel that's Connecticut's fourth turnover Smith spin it on the Baseline and gets it to go to blow the whistle Stephanie white riding with Thomas here with two fouls as bark gets inside and lays it in push it anyway through a double [Applause] team he's sizing up mayy Mitchell knocks it down the middle and it was blocked by danana boner oh what a play WoW last woman back as Carrington spins and feeds for Thomas what they want to play fast when Connecticut can slow you down get you into the half court left in the first quarter Connecticut goes to their horn set oh nice basket cut by mavy she's excellent Boston taking it inside feed to Smith who buries a three here for Caitlyn [Applause] Clark this game has the League's two leading assists k wh is cut off Austin into the corner Mitchell is open and slashes home a three she's and since then Indiana looks like they got their focus back oh dangerous pass inside Smith had it and lost it found its way to carington who lays it in I mean Connecticut is what I would label a team that is a bunch of Hustler see H getting her second start of the keeping everybody safe before they play I'm sure she imagined herself grind it grind it grind it you know make it hard for you they're in this building plenty here down the stretch you don't usually see those two sit next to each other on the Indiana bench but wheeler hits a dropped that at least right now to a two-point [Music] shots boner losts the handle Stripped [Applause] Away oh and DCT little Twan game as dois gets inside but leaves it shorts Veronica Burton Off the Bench to inbound honor has to hoist from away outside and that's Off the Mark quarter of action dtis back for wheeler on the shot fake wheeler on the drive shot clock down to five wrap around pass and Boston to patience par looking inside oh a near impossible angle but still got it to Boston Mitchell kind of hanging out there in the paint right back for Boston who muscles it in five assists here for [Applause] Boston there is circling her way around sets up Olivia Nelson OD DOTA who gets it to ad DOA right hand hook shot won't [Applause] fall haris going behind the back and getting to the rim because Connecticut's coming at you their early offense is their best offense here's ma off the screen but it was an illegal one G see and two and turning it over Jones there into the passing lanee ahead to Thomas who's so lethal in transition Thomas got it to go Arkin wheeler sharing the floor your early second quarter wheeler steps into a three and connects behind the line that time it will count as a three down a 21 foot three-pointer earlier but it's Harris with [Music] [Applause] a of Jon with a huge SI advantage on Clark that shot spins another long rebound Clark switched onto by Jones steps back and connect on a three down that three as Ty Harris has his level here at 38 we have led by nine Connecticut by six Mitchell ma she started the season in Chicago was there last year as well a key mid-season acquisition here for Connecticut Thomas with eight early points although she is zero Thomas being aggressive on that Boston pass Boston kick out here is Clark defensively here is Clark trying to create on Thomas the leak's two leading assists Thomas knocks it away Luxy hle has to Fire and why not have immediately been responded to by Marina Ma and here is Clark wide open knocks down a triple strong too but that time cops up here's Lexi Hull three on two Hull feeds to Clark right back for Lexi Hull who buries the three out of the Olympic break there's red Hoten and there's what Lexi Hull has been doing Mar off the screen waits for Boston Who cashes in the switch on to Mitchell inste goes with a skip pass there's no more uh screening action between two play of the first half a just hits the de no whistle either way and it's a turnover overall Christy sides has to really like what she's seen nice sign of the growth here from the fever from early June the last time they played Connecticut keep it on one side of the floor but Tai Harris gets the ball to reversed and there's that inversion to the block inverting inside and Thomas all sorts of space up there Harris has got a hurry just sees the clock fire away Bank Shot won't fall nice defenses can't finish nice move to get there there here's Carrington she's got numbers if she hurries Carrington takes it right into hole and finishes mitell shot clock winding down again had it stripped from behind and another turnover Outlet past Carrington it was right on the money what a pretty Le contest by Alysa [Applause] Smith Mark bouncing Boston step through it's an offensive foul but it changes his face on the floor when you can protect inside out against her Honor on a second effort at won fall and then re Jones El we talked about it on Monday the fever have struggled on these jump ball situations here this year and boner hangs and finishes it turn and so Bonner with the technical free throw Point possession laid against Atlanta it ended up maybe being the pivotal possession here's Clark can't make them pay Smith with the foot back and it bounces home [Applause] and Thomas just Bulls over Alissa Smith it's an offensive it's just really tough on those reviews to rule that there was embellishment right it's got to July 3rd of 2021 that's when the home games were still at the Coliseum and it is a successful challenge by Stephanie wi in Connecticut [Applause] but the bucket counts it's a one-point game Indiana's got to pick up their momentum right here I mean at stopping the ball and it's hard when you turn it over to stop the [Applause] ball the hole fire away why not steel Clark looking ahead defended well by Alissa Thomas that's how he stopped the ball Smith gets inside and draws the foul 12 minutes here tonight but has nine points has just gone into double dig Clark earning her first and I likely have a number somewhere near that well Lexie Hall doing a really good job jumping to the ball right there there is shot clock down the four the switch on to Hole pass to nobody in particular and Carrington has to fire away it's a shot B points and over four minutes to start the third Clark the shot fake Clark the drive and they got her Carrington got capable from the perimeter if you leave her open and Harris off the screen her shot too strong and now it's Clark launch ahead Mitchell behind the defense player in the [Applause] league clyn Clark's fourth assist here is Jones from the mid-range a fifth rebound of the night handoff Clark behind the back going to pull that out there can't cap it off with it for plus six on the glass they have just been massively improved there here out of the Olympic break the League's second re second best rebounding team here for Indiana shot clock at 14 Clark step back hits a [Applause] [Music] three what does Clark have upper sleeve this time oh she gets it to go maybe could have got a f therefore Lista Thomas yeah they're they're not going to look at this Mitchell hand off from Boston switch Mitchell pulls up here have hit 11 has a three ball Rim out Thomas with the offensive rebound here's boner on the drive and F Bentley just ripped it away and jump ball is the wheeler drops it for Clark the hesitation Clark gets inside here's f benley with the reverse it's not enough CLK here's Boston hesitation extra pass Mitchell is wide open this place is jacked up and maery says bring it down andachi on the team at the deadline trade right before the break she can make buckets CLK splits the double and the floater here's ma starting to heat up bounce past Thomas back inside Nelson ad DOTA over Boston skips out assist rebounding and playing defense like that wins the jump ball what a sequence there by Carrington here's Burton going coast to coast and laying it in lead bark the switch on to Burton bark on the drive back for Boston Boston will let it fly and can't connect benle Sky they manipulate the five player so well with their offensive scheming Christie seen are staff do an excellent job of that and Carrington in the third quarter she has not missed at the free throw line and she gets a hand on it and Thomas just fires it up there and Banks it home to beat the shot clock Park watching ahead and hole with an answer Carrington feeds it inside here is Thomas one dribble extra pass maybre sets up Burton that one rattles out Mark fires can't hit on a three oh look at Boston just wrestle it out of the hands of Nelson ododa and take it right at her but a Boston backing her way inside deep position she won't miss will you give Thomas that that cushion on the top because you want her to shoot it but you've got to make sure you defend her and not let her get that deep oh ran right into a wall flipped it up there it comes to those two not often you're David Letterman and getting the third biggest cheer in the crowd or fourth if you count Caitlin certainly oh Carrington weaving through forced Indiana deeper into the shot clock here's eight on the clock Smith the shot fake driv it on Thomas hangs but can't finish Burton who has all sorts of space out there in the fine with her shooting ma off balance and it's Austin out for Lexi hle Austin right there underneath but Connecticut swats at it oh look at Alyssa Thomas jump ball there for Aaliyah Boston now it's Smith going back at Thomas got right around her too far underneath Boston lost it but she'll get it back assuming there's not another Replay that shows something we didn't see but it gives you also a [Applause] chance Carrington's been lethal in the second half the step throw lays it in and we are Level typically Caitlyn is all tonight off of turnovers or off of Misses 21 fast break points as Mitchell fires away and hits a deep two oh but misses it the Rim made great twist action too and then they get two points on the other end blue buyer that lost the handle and once again more fast break opportunity and will have their shot at the foul line knocks that one down never survive cuz she adds so much other value to her Mitchell turns the corner into traffic full thought about the three hle back for Mitchell catch and shoot buries a three led by double digits here tonight it's been tight throughout the in of trying to earn their 15th win as maybrey just shrugs off hole and hits a Kelsey Mitchell off the Iverson cut Mitchell turns the corner feeds Boston won't miss that time beautiful pass Mark rejecting the screen behind the back to Boston shot clock down to nine Mitchell catch and shoots hits a three and there to the rescue you got to be really sharp right here no game slippage Clark on the drive Clark lays it in taking a lot of shots here in the fourth it'll work the way of Thomas Thomas splits the double leaves it short Boston the rebound Indiana's lost just one time in this building since the start of June Clark shrugs are off oh it was halfway down it just put Indiana up five here's a look at our Indiana Members Credit Union Fourth decision Mitchell harassing here is Thomas shot clock down to four they're not going to get the two for one Thomas had it knocked away good hands all trying to to get it in and got it into Clark and they immediately do foul that's an interesting decision an immediate foul and on IND they are not guarding Lexi hold the inbounder so it's five on four they get it into Boston back to Hull and Hull is fouled which get allowed Indiana to keep the ball and Hull knocks down the First hle with 17 points
