00:00 the season.
00:03 WNBA action which last night
00:07 saw the sun on the road
00:09 improved to three and oh with
00:10 an 88 to 84 victory over the
00:12 fever who dropped the 0 and 4
00:14 Caitlin Clark getting better
00:15 with each performance pops was
00:17 in the stands yesterday not
00:19 happy with the loss but we're
00:21 getting closer and closer. It
00:22 seems like that fever is first
00:23 win here Ben. Listen, Indiana
00:27 is starting to figure some
00:28 things out. Let's take a moment
00:30 and make the point that we
00:31 shared just a week ago with all
00:33 the hype and optimism around
00:35 Caitlin Clark's WNBA debut the
00:37 start of this W season just a
00:39 week old and what the outlook
00:41 is for Indiana. But we go to
00:43 Connecticut who the fever have
00:45 played twice. They've also
00:46 played the Liberty twice New
00:49 York made the WNBA finals
00:51 coming up short against the
00:52 Aces Connecticut was the only
00:54 other team to win more than 25
00:56 points. And the sun is back
00:58 again. It's been a grueling
01:00 start to this season for
01:02 Indiana home and home virtually
01:04 versus Connecticut and New York.
01:06 So yes, being Owen for does not
01:08 look great from the win loss
01:09 perspective, but it does
01:11 explain the start to this year
01:12 and the sun are going to be
01:14 back to that Pantheon of which
01:16 we saw them at last year,
01:18 especially if Alyssa Thomas and
01:20 do want to Bonner continue to
01:21 play the way they are right now
01:23 Bonner 22 points last night, a
01:25 game winning shot for
01:27 Connecticut and Alyssa Thomas is
01:29 the do it all each and every
01:32 game one assist shy of her
01:35 second triple double of this
01:37 season already both coming
01:39 perhaps against Indiana. But
01:41 again only nine dimes last
01:43 night did finish with a game
01:44 high 24 points and 14 rebounds
01:47 playing 40 minutes for the sun
01:50 last night. Connecticut is very
01:53 good, but they were a six-point
01:55 favorite on the road in
01:56 Indiana. The fever cover that
01:58 number a total of 163 and a
02:00 half does go over because the
02:03 fever is starting to find their
02:05 footing and that is also a
02:06 storyline here for Indiana DRS.
02:09 They have now covered in two
02:10 straight games against New York
02:11 and Connecticut despite dropping
02:13 their first four to start this
02:15 year. It was going to take some
02:17 time in Indianapolis, but the
02:19 fever are starting to round
02:21 into form ever so slightly.
02:23 (upbeat music)
02:26 (bells chiming)
