00:00The playoff chase is on. The Fever with playoff aspirations. They're looking to get there for the first time since 2016.

00:08It's the Olympian Griner and a future Olympian in Aaliyah Boston who get us started.

00:13This Fever team is well rested. They had one Olympian in Christy Wallace, other than that this group has been together

00:19here for the last month or so as Boston finds Mitchell who finishes.

00:24Knocking down two big free throws to get the one point win over France. But guys, that gold medal game was just five days ago.

00:31Unlike the majority of these women in the league, they didn't get the rest that they did.

00:35These three gold medalists as Boston dips inside and can't finish. Boston wrestling through a triple team.

00:45Here is Clark off the screen, launches and drops a triple.

00:49As Copper knocks down her second shot. Now on a back to back here tonight. This is really physically demanding.

00:54It is extremely difficult. Not only physically, but also mentally staying in it.

01:01Go against another team here. They've been chomping at the bin. It's Tarassi. What a spin. Tarassi a finish.

01:08A 20 year veteran, Diana Tarassi dialing back. And it's Clark on the other end at 22.

01:16Beaverhead hits seven of their last eight shots here from the floor. Samuelson, good ball movements and finds Smith.

01:23As Clough launches and misses on a three. Phoenix's missed three.

01:28And it's a three. And it's a three. And it's a three.

01:33And it's a three. And it's a three. And it's a three.

01:38And it's a three. And it's a three. And it's a three.

01:43As Clough launches and misses on a three. Phoenix has missed their first four.

01:47You can see what Indiana wants to do here. They want to run. And Mitchell pulls up and connects.

01:52Almost pulled off the bench and come to your first shot. Is that three ball being able to knock it down.

01:57Gotta have the confidence to do it.

02:01Mitchell launches and hits a three.

02:05Mercury offense is great since 2015.

02:09It's been the Beaver offense that has stolen the show here so far.

02:12Dantas, oh, tips it. There's Smith on the receiving end.

02:21Mitchell working on Copper. A couple of all-stars. Oh, Mitchell, she wins that battle.

02:26Three ball rims out. Phoenix just one of eights from the perimeter here so far.

02:33Diana with the fourth pass is pace of play. And that suits Kaitlyn Clark.

02:40Copper, the switch on to Dantas. Off balance, Clark.

02:43Copper, Kalia Copper beats that first quarter buzzer.

02:47Playing her game, Indiana's gotta do a better job of closing out on her.

02:52Clark, oh, from the logo. Couldn't get it to go. But there's Boston who cleans up underneath.

02:59Missed this shot. Has to give you confidence as well to shoot and be in your game.

03:03Indiana comes up with a turnover. Here is Clark. This time it's Smith.

03:06With a foul. And an and one.

03:12Here's Mitchell. Oh, behind the defense.

03:17And Kaitlyn Clark can do no wrong.

03:21She's coming off that assist record in Dallas before the Olympic break.

03:2616 points here early in the second quarter. Has four assists as well.

03:31As Cloud rattles that one in.

03:37Oh, trying to carve out some space.

03:40People are more than content to make Phoenix jump shooters.

03:43And there is Cloud. Defense there by Mack, who got pinned in underneath.

03:47Able to react, get a piece of Boston's shot.

03:51Here's Tarassi launching and hitting a three.

03:55Somebody that just thoroughly loves basketball, loves the game.

03:58And being able to come out here and support, I know, means so much to these women.

04:03But also get some of these tips as well. Being able to see where he can improve his game.

04:12Wheeler turns the corner, gets inside. Extra pass. That was pretty.

04:16And Boston cleans up.

04:18Here before halftime as Epper going cross court to Cunningham.

04:22Cloud is open and rattles home a three.

04:25Phoenix has had some good looks from the...

04:27Lots of hands. Being able to move.

04:30Beaver has to do a good job finding the holes in the defense.

04:33Epper back for Tarassi who splashes home a three.

04:36And all of a sudden the blood gates have opened from the perimeter.

04:41Beaver offensively turned it over just two times in that first half.

04:45Average 15 a game, so a very good sign from that perspective.

04:49But it's Greiner who gets it.

04:51And a hallmark of a young team and a talented team like this.

04:54Beaver had moments of brilliance.

04:57But then moments of struggle.

05:00As Cunningham gets it inside to Greiner.

05:03Greiner turning on Boston and the hook shot. Pretty touch.

05:06This Indiana Beaver crowd a little anxious right now.

05:09As Indiana led by 28 earlier.

05:12It's a 26-7 run as Mitchell puts an end to it with a three.

05:19Smart play there by Copper to intercept.

05:21And here's Tarassi through traffic and a finish.

05:25Wow, we've seen two great moves by Tarassi going downhill.

05:30Copper kind of tied up there. She and Tarassi play catch.

05:33Refreshes the dribble. Shot clock down to five.

05:36Copper off the screen from the foul line. Knocks it down.

05:40Very similar. Cold start. Roaring back. Staying steady. Strong minded.

05:46And Mitchell from the heavens.

05:50Working on foul. Nothing developing here for Indiana.

05:52Shot clock's already down to five.

05:55Smith's going to have to create. Smith driving on Greiner.

05:57Who sends it back? Greiner with a signature block.

06:02Other than that, Indiana's offense has struggled in the third quarter.

06:06They have seven points.

06:08Cunningham wide open. Splashes home a three.

06:12Comes up holding her head and the Mercury have numbers the other direction.

06:15Skip pass. Copper. Extra pass. Herbert Harrigan delivers on a three.

06:21Turnovers. They had seven here in the third quarter.

06:24Clark step back on a deep two. Oh, gets the shooter's touch.

06:30Mitchell with five seconds left. Cross court Clark.

06:34Does Clark see the clock? Hand off Samuelson.

06:37Who burns the three? Samuelson beats the buzzer.

06:42And the fever in the third with a flourish.

06:46It's been a tough one to get.

06:49Clark off the screen. Finds some space and delivers.

06:53Hits a triple for Kaitlyn Clark.

06:55I've been going up.

06:57A little surprised to see Mitchell not launch either.

07:00As Tarassi on the other end hits a three and the Mercury just refuse.

07:04Clark seeing two. Bounces. Oh, beautiful.

07:07It's Boston with the finish.

07:09He's got the assignment of Natasha Cloud with the shot clock down to five.

07:13Trying to spin her way out of it.

07:15Trying to create one on the shot clock.

07:17Cloud gets it up and knocks it down.

07:19Big shot Natasha Cloud.

07:21As soon as he sees the double team. Skip pass Clark.

07:25Mitchell. Corner three. Connects.

07:27One skip pass that leads to another skip of her game.

07:31And she does that by going downhill, being explosive and really doing a good job.

07:35Just getting a little step on the.

07:37And Mitchell with the hesitation and the.

07:41Clark sizing up Cunningham.

07:43Here is Mitchell. Another three.

07:45Mitchell is knocked in.

07:47In the front.

07:49Cunningham.

07:51Cunningham.

07:53Cunningham.

07:54Mitchell is knocked in.

07:56In the front.

07:58Probe her. Get the defense to shift.

08:00And then the wide open Clark.

08:02Cunningham answers with a three of her own.

08:06Caitlin Clark just wants to settle things down here for the moment.

08:11To get the step on Cunningham.

08:13Clark gets to the rim.

08:15And that might have been.

08:17At times from the line this season.
