since we return to out of the Olympic break here's hole on the drive floats it up go and stoping pop py Williams is absolutely here's Kelsey Mitchell who's been red hot misses her first shot here tonight looking ahead and finds Boston yeah that's got Atlanta Smith Courtney Williams playing catch Williams watches and Miss Williams hand off Boston here is Clark Clark with that float shot Big Shot weaknesses are to really step up her game which the Mitchell launches the fourth ranked offense in the WNBA and they've been playing well and she's already passed the half court before anybody recognize I feel like this year's alive not only with their shot but just kind of doing both seem destined to finish even higher here this season they've won 10 of their last 11 as Clark launches and this is on she's averaging the longest who hasn't been as much of a scoring threat this season has just kind of Fes in here even adapt within the season Miss her last four games SM catch and shoot and knocks down other than any team in the WNBA this is Mitchell inside of it in the early going in Boston with a massive size advantage and takes it oh you got deep position Boston had there she does a good job right help oh call your met at the [Applause] room especially with the block on on the here like the would have fully treasured that that block on here's Kelsey Mitchell catch and shoot knocks down at first three fever Shooters in the Minnesota perimeter defense will be better than Minnesota here's Mitchell had full esteem little scoop shot great spot up hard to recover Boston deep position once again her size and once again it's Clark ahead to ball such a great MC prde one of the top three play they want to get up and down here's Clark catch and shoot there's a whistle that will not Midway through the first the WNBA Friday night Spotlight Indiana Fever are 7 and one coming off the Olympic break with this team and they relied on it but coming in this match up Caitlyn Clarks Kelsey thank you and yes very possible this is a turnovers here out of the timeout mcde is open and this is knowing where the ball is going to come off every single time two Williams Crossing up pole and from the mid-range oh might have got a piece of that K off the glass that was a great TR on natia heidman who's just checked in she's a good Defender too in your handle and get to that on the drive just right back at it we can shot fing the three driving on heidman leads in flips it up and draws she strives for Perfection she stays in it within her teammates and within herself as well but de the hesitation Court pass that is a deep three from Carlton two Clark looking aggressive Clark launches and really difficult shot she just gets it and she's able to drow to the races it's a two on one she'll bounce for Mitchell Mitchell got it here just knew exactly where to put put it and make last six they've got 14 of Indiana just breing the defense the wnba's assist leaders as Caitlyn Clark is with a bunch of pressure in your face along with placing it exactly to go from the very top to one of the very bottom so I mean hats off I think they both want the same thing as far as success and I think they both want Lexi hle coming up with another steel splits the double team but hold deep two strong on a three p penley with the offensive rebound and another CR player that again the fer desperately need extra pass and lini knocks down a three CLK sets up dtis can't answer with a triple of her own about a 5-second differential game shot it's traded for at the trade deadline really a Savvy move got to go here that's a difficult [Applause] look it's one of the top defenses in the league as Collier Force crossing over kick back here's in back benle three andini two for two to come out with the exact same energy and especially that's the opponent great ball Movement by blings they have to continue keeper players to score Ian attacking Clark and rolls it in really found a spot in the WNBA it's Clark just weaving their passing but also with their scoring and a great way for hman just to get two feet into the paint and [Applause] thato really strong here theight Le Boston is back in she had the early two fouls take shot won't fall but Hinds outen she is a monster wheeler just blows by CER and lays it in automatically be a scoring threat is exactly what she needs to be so this re um but we've seen that time and time again if you don't drug tested for the third time this season saying let open three now she'll take it and knock it down oh she a way to knock it down no hesitation CER thr the with it we saw her uh she had a count not too long on the fever but off the court as well I've said this any time of the day all hours uh and feeds Boston who will laun and Miss on a three ball H Allen staying aggressive here SL is presented by State Farm Mar finds that sweet spot pretty often so important just to see the chemistry and just how much it has te uh it just kind of do what works and play how they want 19 of their 35 more than half of their extra pass Smith can't connect Clark the hesitation Clark the floater over where she you know appears the half reports whatever the case may be it's amazing how quickly that's become a part of her Arsenal bounce pass Mitchell into traffic shot too strong Smith can't clean hustle is really what's making this team so special and just being able to nice doing the little things is a great way to start tonight Angelica suffring Mary Williams andini is called for rules Clark couldn't connect m see it's good really well played game Minnesota probably feels like on the shot F into a double team LS it up for Boston turn around just knowing where her teammate was at a great position threading the needle Leos five not out of the question OS launches and the Miss with he makes just is it the right shot oh Boston deep position M cers having a terrific season offens [Applause] marks take on Angel Reese and the sky W on the hand off from Boston and out right on the nail I mean it it takes the team it takes a start things back up again it's first time they're going to the playoff got a couple of favorites for Coach of the Year in this building too look at Hines Allen they won 19 a year ago so they're already five overlap 18 this year 13 a year ago back if oh look at Mitchell Clark playing catch hey CL now for de again about the mix of the it's just about between these two it is blossoming every game just nice there as Williams on the drive off balance shot skips out straight that look kind of says it all Boston trying to great with a shot clock low and Boston will oh there's nobody else there let me just go ahead and spin back with a nice season wasn't the best but she's been able to really buckle down since then and Iowa State knocking down the pair of the first first Clark's gotten it going Kelsey Mitchell Clark fading firing shot too strong to pind Allen wrap around pass to Carlton oh that was to set up Bridget Carlton Car Field House well the Indiana Fever this week clinched a spot Mitchell she even showed up to Wednesday sheet around wearing a Kelsey Mitchell putting the excitement aside Mitchell said this group said they're nowhere near in the second half of the Season Lana Smith L here to open up the third Boston backing her way in flips it up just beat the catch underneath Smith musling her way in good defense there by alanos they went into halftime with Smith launches fre ball off them forward Austin spinning into a double just flips it up the shot is see I think this is what makes the so good she's little towards it you do have to make sure you keep your composure playoffs with a ton of experience it'll be brand new for a lot of the fever here's Smith rolling and finishing on the here Williams pulling up from the mid-range that's a tough look gets her off ball movement just being so unselfish and last six shots and they have been now held just let let the plays happen but again the moment of Indiana Clark stepping back fading firing two side Smith couldn't handle it right into the hands of Williams in Minnesota Courtney Williams buckets has the links in front without a mfield goal Carlton balance splashes at home the plays just like [Applause] that what a great stopping pop here looks like she was so just coming up and having that Mitch trying to get Indiana Mitchell going behind the back stepping back into a deep two that's a tough look kind of there possession CER straight away KN Boston on the drive gets inside and Banks it home so she's got numbers it's a four on three clck right up the middle and draws the foul oh they come right back see is an excellent defense Defender as well now with 19 points trying to hold down number six and they lose Atlanta Smith underneath and they're not moving with the person Mitchell step back as CER working on Boston and then hul comes in and the looked like she could have shot that at the top but just nice little high free throw shooter and rolls the it's the national women's soccer league on ION Saturday night all too easily there here's CER going Coast to Coast Bing it home cre but everything difficult and a travel there on Williams firing it inside call your HS and lays it in and here on Indiana Mitchell gets inside lost the handle agree and you know one thing leading to another away with it in the first quarter Clark trying to get Indiana started and maybe that'll help Williams will switch on to Boston call on pton Clark and I don't know about the call but coming back and see time Williams steps into a three and knocks it down there by Carlton Boston is fouled and fine it's one thing to to cover one thing but driving on Carlton bar hangs and F CER sends shot FES the three pulls up and connects least since the month of May foul on the suspension they are fired up she's passionate she loves the game she wants to win all movement here from the links and Hinds out and Cashes in P steps into it two that won't go little his Inside Out look T back into the paint I mean that key moment in this game as call your hand H Allen maybe shuffled her fsot has outscored Indiana 27-10 hand in the third and the fever have an opportunity to do that here but there's still so much first decide one by 10 in neapolis Mitch called for the foul into the paint if they have an inside inside look [Music] great so here is Kelsey [Applause] Mitchell he's five of layoff balance feeds inside and the vision if you get beat you got to let that one fly have now taken nine more foul shots then watch and break down her game uh she has for Minnesota Mitchell on the drive the floater and she gets that high low for Minnesota it's been lethals Ark trying to create find some space shot two originally called that off ofi and the links are able to oh Corner three knocks it watch by benley colier lines up a three it's off the up Mitchell wide open for Kelsey Mitchell trying to turn the offense here up the fourth as Carlton tries to answer shot too strong Mitchell putting on the Move shot Off the Mark there Carlton Corner three that won't fall defense of possession there for the fever look like now they didn't make the shot but look at the types of reads oh had a moment there instead looking inside for Boston there as well yeah there it was just nice little and able to connect on the first times that's to take a back seat offensively at times she Rim staying on a li staying on the rim here in the fourth Thor a uas back for Williams and Williams won't miss from there Austin setting up Clark ABC the sell out crowd to their feet and they foul on job R of the defense there really beats it into Boston Boston one bounce and lays it in Williams watches and hits a play and really doing a good job sharing the trying to pick her spot lob it inside uof trying to get in teamate with a great trying to get Williams canceling inside Mitchell launches and hits a three Williams knocked Away by Mitchell who touched that last will save B from one side to the other is so important to get that defense moving Dy B pass to the corner Carlton launches and hits bar step back that shot to that shot timeouts at Carlton 3 right now return and Coler is called for a foul on the basketall Lexi H hold not on the floor really an intelligent play there by Caitlyn it stops the sheet uh you know you don't want to get comfortable and the silencer from Bridget Carlton Boston answers and another impact play and Williams dialing up at the three ball Fallen by hman to evade it Clark back for samelson hits a Idan driving on Samson gets by draws the play the back stop waiting for the one minute and 50 seconds give them Boston thought about the three sh'll hoist leaves it short Carlton started all of this and she's trying to end it back benley back for a hole man and her teammates are looking for her she's done a great job just finding her Rhythm and her teammates are looking point lead so that's an important one if Connecticut wins trying to hold on to six here's Mitchell running into traffic oh it's an offensive foul I know K is trying to make a
