00:00He's in his second year in L.A., after spending seven years in Connecticut.
00:04A fever clinched a playoff berth last night. They look to keep the good times rolling.
00:09You can't let Indiana get out of the break, and you can't let Kelsey Mitchell get going,
00:14because she has been phenomenal in the last seven days.
00:19She has seven straight with 20 or more. That is a franchise record.
00:22She's pulling away a big lead in that category as Hamby showing off the craftiness inside.
00:30She did all the hard stuff, and then couldn't finish the easy.
00:39Sparks offense, just 11th in the WNBA, as Odyssey Sims gets inside and finishes.
00:46Mental toughness.
00:47You're right, Pat. I mean, you look at L.A.'s lost seven of eight,
00:49but the one win is New York, the top team in the league.
00:52And there's Boston, who gets inside and lays it in.
00:55Clark with the hesitation. Clark gets inside and lays it in.
00:59Instead of turning it over, Indiana...
01:02That's not something she was doing last year.
01:05Mitchell, catch and shoot, whistle there, too. Hit a three.
01:09And let's check on where this foul is.
01:11Just a stunning run here from Kelsey Mitchell, one of the best all-time in fever history.
01:16Mitchell doing a really good job fronting Rekia Jackson.
01:19And it's McDonald who knocks it in.
01:21That offensive foul is Indiana's eighth turnover of the quarter.
01:28Mary Burrell, who's just checked in, and Nurse dials up a three.
01:32Has made the most triples for L.A. That's her 41st.
01:36Clark stepping back on the baseline, knocking it down from the mid-range.
01:39That's a beautiful mid-range step back.
01:42The Pacers play with the fastest pace in the NBA, and...
01:45You can say that about the Indiana Fever. They play at a very fast pace.
01:48One of the tops in the league, certainly after the break, for sure.
01:51Player of the month, rookie of the month.
01:54Clark on the bounce. Donch is charging inside and finishing.
01:57It's a great read, because Keia Nurse stops at the downhill drive.
02:02But Lexi Hull is in the corner, and you don't want to give up a three to Hull.
02:08McDonald working the baseline.
02:10There's Burrell, through traffic, and a tough finish.
02:16Mitchell lost the handle that time on the drive.
02:24Here is Nurse, stepping back, launching, and hitting a three.
02:30Mitchell, no look!
02:32Owen Smith, denial, but on a second effort, finishes.
02:36Kelsey Mitchell, or Lexi Hull, behind the three-point line.
02:40Nurse, stepping back, and rattles that one home.
02:42So Keia Nurse has another good one going.
02:45First player into double figures here tonight.
02:47She's done it off the bench.
02:49Clark regularly seeing two there in the backcourt,
02:51and that is Indiana's tenth turnover here.
02:53You've got to move it quicker.
02:54You see the blitz.
02:55Kaitlin gets rid of it quickly.
02:56You've got to move the ball.
02:58And hands it over to Hull.
03:00Hull's got it.
03:01You see the blitz.
03:02Kaitlin gets rid of it quickly.
03:03You've got to move the ball.
03:05And Hamby there to make Indiana pay on the other end.
03:07Well, for perspective,
03:08Indiana's only got one more road game left in the entire season.
03:13People have just been sloppy here so far.
03:16Well, they haven't gotten anything easy.
03:17They've had to execute in the quarter court.
03:19And now L.A.'s starting to make shots,
03:21and they're getting back in transition.
03:24Fight for position in the paint.
03:27Mitchell trying to get this Indiana offense kick started.
03:29That'll help.
03:30Kelsey Mitchell.
03:36He's got 93s on the season.
03:39And Stephens answers with a three.
03:41Azare Stephens.
03:43They're gone.
03:45They've been gone.
03:48Clark, good feed into Boston with deep position.
03:51Lays it in.
03:53Going back to carry high and get some shots up.
03:56Here's Azare again.
03:58Oh, doing her best.
03:59Anthony Antonelli.
04:00Come on, Azare.
04:01Back-to-back triple.
04:02She's a 35% three-point shooter.
04:05Coach of the Connecticut Sun.
04:07Been former coach of the year
04:08and executive of the year in this league.
04:12And he loves coming back to the state of Indiana
04:13where he has a home.
04:15He's a longtime college coach
04:17at Bowling Green and at Indiana.
04:21Really good guy.
04:22Sims able to flip that one in.
04:26There's always a learning laboratory
04:27when you're in the gym with these coaches in the W
04:29because they work so hard at their schemes
04:32and it's really fun to be in another team's practice
04:35in the league.
04:37Here's Burrell fighting inside
04:38and getting the roll.
04:42The bench has 21 of their 44 points
04:44as Boston backdoor cut.
04:46It's Mitchell.
04:48And that play has worked.
04:53Sims off the screen, driving into Samuelson
04:54and denied.
04:56What a tremendous defensive play.
04:57Katie Musamuelson on the switch, using her length.
05:01Not fouling.
05:03Knock clock down to seven.
05:04Jackson trying to create.
05:05Driving on Samuelson.
05:06Shot off the mark.
05:07There's Hamby.
05:08Right place, right time.
05:10Hamby off that bronze medal
05:11in the three-on-three in the Olympics.
05:18And look at inside.
05:19Here's Jackson.
05:20Has the size advantage on Wheeler.
05:22And Jackson knocks it down.
05:23Pretty stroke.
05:24And she lets the game come to her.
05:25I've never seen her push or force anything
05:28in the W.
05:29When the game slows down
05:30and you're a rookie, that's impressive.
05:31Clark, beautiful find to a cutting Boston.
05:35For this fever offense for Kaitlin Clark.
05:38As Indiana's offense has exploded here
05:40out of the Olympic break.
05:41Smith going one-on-one.
05:43Attacking Hamby and winning the battle.
05:45Indiana knows
05:47they're all willing passers out of that play.
05:50Here's Stevens lining up a triple.
05:52And Azaray Stevens is knocked down three from out there.
05:55Three triples, Azaray.
05:57Shoot until your arm falls off, Azaray.
06:00Boston now with 14 and eight.
06:03She's finding some room to work down there.
06:05And on the other end,
06:06Odyssey Sims continues to stay aggressive.
06:09Sims has 12.
06:10Boston can't finish underneath.
06:12Mitchell has the offensive rebound for Indiana.
06:15Mitchell staying aggressive.
06:16Flips it up, flips it in.
06:17Twist to the right hand, Kelsey Mitchell.
06:20Nurse driving on Clark.
06:21Feeds it back for Hamby.
06:22Hamby with a crossover.
06:23Driving into Smith.
06:24Leaves a shot short.
06:26Defense there by Nelissa Smith.
06:29Clark with nine points.
06:30Seven assists here so far.
06:32Clark crossing over.
06:33And dropping a three.
06:40Clark being watched by Nurse.
06:42Clark off the drive.
06:43Clark hangs and banks it home.
06:45And she snakes behind it.
06:46And she creates this mismatch for Azaray Stephens.
06:49It's a really well-designed play by Kurt Miller.
06:52And Indiana likes to ice those ball screens on the side.
06:56Three triples.
06:59Clark trying to answer.
07:00You bet.
07:04Look at the mismatch inside.
07:06Yeru is being guarded by Mitchell.
07:09And it's a three.
07:10And it's a three.
07:11And it's a three.
07:12And it's a three.
07:13Yeru is being guarded by Mitchell and Clark.
07:16And Burrell knocks down a three.
07:18And we're back to a point.
07:20...run here so far tonight.
07:22And the offense has been a little out of sync at times.
07:25Austin spinning inside.
07:27Right around McDonald.
07:28Beautiful move.
07:30Clark working on McDonald who gives it a swipe.
07:34Clark.
07:35Step back.
07:36Hits a three.
07:41Five triples.
07:42Caitlin, go ahead and shoot until your arm falls off.
07:45And Mitchell knocks that one away.
07:48Here comes Clark.
07:49Going the other way.
07:50Clark going behind the back.
07:51Oh, it's Boston.
07:53An and one.
07:57Clark sets up hole.
07:59And connect on that three.
08:01Smith with the rebound.
08:02Oh, pretty spin.
08:03And Smith gets it to go.
08:06So tough.
08:08What she has done has been exactly what we need of her.
08:12Burrell, catch and shoot.
08:13Oh, way too strong.
08:15But the bank is open.
08:19Weaver needing stops on the defensive end.
08:21And they lost Hamby.
08:22An and one.
08:30Hamby attacking Boston.
08:31Spin move.
08:32Floats it up.
08:33Gets it to go.
08:34And a foul for De'Erica Hamby.
08:39Burrell cut off there by Boston.
08:40Inside for Hamby.
08:41Sent back.
08:43Nelissa Smith closes the door at the rim.
08:48That is Clark's ninth rebound.
08:50She's an assist and a rebound shy.
08:52But that time turns it over.
08:53Sims picks her pockets.
08:55And Sims lays it in with a foul.
08:58Call timeout and advance the ball.
09:02Boston, shot clock down to three.
09:03Drives her way inside.
09:04Muscles to the rim.
09:06Kelsey Mitchell's going, what happened?
09:07Oh, it's a triple-double for Katelyn.
09:08What a reaction by Kelsey.
