Indiana Fever vs Chicago Sky game Highlights [AUG 26, 2O24]| Women's Basketball 2024

from Indianapolis final game before the All-Star break and boost from those couple of games here into tonight as Victoria Vivians off Target on her Alissa Smith will launch and barri a three team just kind of raises their play it's already a good sign that she hit that early uh whenever she has a early quick start I think that just kind of goes as the here for the fever as viven bounces here is Smith found inside and Misan who came over in the off season Rob back for Vivian she'll launch a deep three Robinson the hesitation and Robinson couldn't finish the reverse once his team playing really as fast as humanly possible he wants to want to be able to push and run and when a team is a little bit older you might not be able to have he the head from Misan bounces inside angler can't finish underneath Indiana's had a couple good being able to get in there in two feet of pain I think is so key when you're able to have a Robinson trying to turn the corner gets inside and has 62 available to Carlos Knox and that is Nelissa Smith we can't say she's not hustling but the 29-year-old forward out of Belgium who struggled a little Alissa Smith 3 is Indiana's only scoring and but we want to get her to be able to get going too and what she does Smith will lach and barri a three copper just runs over Mitchell no whistle either way about it earlier they've had seven different leading scores this year oh but how about oh but she's able her teammates are really doing a good job finding her trying to get her backing in on Emma Cannon marker putting on the moves draws the F couple three-pointers including this one and keeping Indiana in this one the All-Star break after tonight's game Chicago comes L one season for Indiana in the Wubble here's azire Stevens on the pullup Pace by the fever even though shots aren't falling until that one dynamic in the early going here's Parker setting up alaman who drills also a Belgium native Alysa Smith on the drive can't finish it good basketball just waited patiently for her opportunity to shine oh copper puts on the copper a Relentless attacker hangs ready in front of her alone is hard but adding and scoring their first two games this year Le Yu and I'm not sure that ball hit the rim take another look get that rebound added to her St line [Applause] Mitchell on the drive tough look for Mitchell through traffic and there's Delissa Smith being able to have the ability to play back to back you're going to need to go deep into your who missed a couple of games recently in the health and safety protocols is back in their offense going as Stevens is wide open at this is on a three Evans on the drive HS it up and Dana great find here for James Wade who got her out of Dallas as Tiffany Mitchell a nine-point lead I think both are doing a great job hustling it on the floor it over here's a three-on-one gardner running with alamon great find back for the League's leading assister as Mitchell got free underneath underneath the rim here's Stevens Corner three booket as Mitchell beautiful find in for angler she's angler staying aggressive angler lays it swag these last two possession here is the 67 Yu dumping it off really good I've seen a lot of progression Mitch the leag six lead score weav Mitchell pull up three right over nice recovery there by angler on the Chicago fast break getting rebounds U making the right decision she might not be be able that not making the All-Star team was really tough on her ability to bounce back past that yeah I think kind of play in the fact cuz she's one of those players that does not give up and she's the first that just speaks to her as a player Oh exler putting on the moves and there was a foul there quicker but I agree sometimes just let them go but because they're not hitting those shots it's not really wavering their defense but that was Vivian cut off there by Parker and a technical foul WNBA a bounce back year for Vivien dips inside there's hler again a leading offensive rebounder coming into tonight as copper off balance you say Bria really really gave Indiana a boost there mean on the drive gets by Smith and lays Anders SL shot clock down to three here's mean who has to hoist hampering their offense here in the first half can't leave Quigley open a knock clock down to five heartley drops it Mitchell launches Robinson bouncing good find cannon at Duo as Indiana looks to get scoring elsewhere as quickly Miss Mitchell fires and hits another is trying to hold it here vandersloot on the drive beautiful find Copper hanger away and the Big Shot won't fall and it's a 10-point lead for half after a 28 per Point performance in Indianapolis on their last stop the [Music] perimeter Ean lobbing it up refence maker mman drops it Ali Quigley even get it down to the post here's Vivian this time a deep two Manders beautiful find inside Advantage here's Tiffany Mitchell into the teeth of the defense defensive night from Chicago yeah you really do and I know team the league but it is very bunched up at the top of the standings almost in Unstoppable Tiffany Mitchell Corner three her play she's such a Difference Maker defensively yeah I was actually a little nervous prolific season fieber as a whole having at it going on offense three or or I want to say wide open maybe slightly contested three Beaver had it to 10 points at halftime as Mitchell draws the her sto and pop or or that uh pull up three is is really which really does have a big effect but it only has a big effect when turns it over Mitchell does come up with the steal Mitchell attacking Quigley hangs and can't get three-point line Indiana's been great from out there as Vander scor last year mean attacks underneath on Mitchell to see her her her guard going for the two to yeah get more WNBA minutes and gain some chemistry here with here get some minutes early I think it's going to do nothing but help a career oh Parker one Alissa Smith shot clock did reset here's pointer on the drive and the [Applause] left here is Parker stepping back guard cutting post good things are hard uh that is really hard to guard Mitchell draws the foul she is pointer shot clocked down to five pointer on the drive floats Away by Parker good play there by Smith to save it into the hands of Tiffany Mitchell Stevens turns too strong she already has a few fouls under her belt but just being able to go in there it's a lot of actively uh breaking records game by game he's getting a little fany with the ball right now Phoenix and it was part of what got Bria heartley to Old WNBA standings really are tiffany Mitchell pulling quarter Chicago Sky shooting nearly 60% from the the FL you know the game and they still have a lot of time 10 minutes is a lot of time to really get this in Chicago they had a 28o comeback earlier this year as gner gets fre underneath here is Rebecca Gardner the 31-year-old rookie really important for the Chicago group as to as Canon for Indiana five bench players on the floor right now for Chicago Stevens running the floor Mitchell on the crossover Mitchell draws the foul there is her 10th playing a lot with her kind of trying to get her going too Evans can't finish [Music] underneath Bri you've got to think of the All-Star break as something that's especially helpful for younger players uh rest your mind refocus uh get the treatments no games both teams hit the All-Star break tonight the corner on Hebert kick out had it deflected by Stevens right into the hands of Smith Henderson bounces Smith has the size Advantage ducks in on Evans and draws the foul heas Candace Parker silia fouls Asia Wilson John qu Gardner sees the double whips it inside and you know who can shoot the ball that might not be their strongest suit but they certainly can in the back court Evans Cross Court pass Finds Its way to Stevens was three here's Stevens bake shot rattles here's Smith great find to Robinson who rolls it in no matter if it's a a miss or a make they push the ball back hope to put together a little run to make it interesting down the stretch draws the foul on Stevens underneath as that hustle that determination uh and the minutes to play here as well one of them to [Music] Indiana uh she saw that being wide open at first that hle back kind of string uh moving with purpose uh unfortunately that was was that an equipment issue she was dealing with I think you saw it yeah I I thought she was hobing CU one way or another angler spinning on Hebert gets inside oh start to come around the rim here at the WNBA level I think that's when you'll really see your angler wide open Chicago is into the penalty this will send Gardner back to the line it's those free throws when I played against her they actually beat us in the Mitchell underneath great F Gardner called for steps that's Chicago's 16th turnover you know they stopped their runs a little earlier I think uh this game would have been a little different here is the fever rookie Alex back for Mitchell pull up three rookie out of Baylor Stevens turns of it they'll say that was often time Stevens with the rebound and the putback for heird shot short angler battling with right I mean how many times do you see defense aggression I'm actually I'm really going to be surprised if they don't does a tremendous job to get all these broadcasts to yeah Mitchell foul as she fouls out Emily angler able to jump back in the game in the second quarter for when they get there every win they've had this year they've gotten to that 80-point threshold2 Robins H ahead for Smith final 10 seconds growth behind the scenes that hasn't always shown in the record yes I to be able to have this film to dissect it and at the beginning of that quarter that's a final tonight Chicago goes up by 20 after
