League Pass: "Game is not available in your location."
I'm in North Carolina and the game is between Chicago and Indiana.

Early on the guards got her the ball when she was right under the basket, for a change. But she also took a dribble from the FT line which was pretty.
she looked really good when Dolson was her defender, but has struggled with Parker defending her.

| Chicago scores 56 in the first half, 11 points in the third quarter. How can that happen?

It's part of a sad tradition.
Wouldn't be surprised if we blow it - also traditionally struggle against the Fever...
Have to go back and watch - our local TV station airs it live but I was out.

| Indiana just can't figure out how to win. I feel sorry for them. Actually I think what decided it was that Stanley was slow to get Cox off the floor. When she finally decided to do it, Breland sat on the sidelines for at least two minutes before a stoppage let her in. Should have called a timeout to get her in the game. JMO.

Worst part of the Amazon Prime gamecast for me is that they don't display a shot clock for the viewers!
Indiana's such a different team when McCowan is "on."
Glad Dana Evans was traded to a team that is actually giving her a chance to contribute.

Agreed...Cox was a liability on defense (and the defensive glass) and also caused more harm than good in trying to create for herself on offense.

The really bad luck part for the Fever is Parker is back just in time for two games against them. Without Parker, maybe they win both games? Now that Chicago is at or near full strength, maybe they won’t be the red-headed stepchild we’ve gotten used to seeing this season.
Obviously McCowan was better in this game than her replacement in the starting lineup. So is benching her supposed to act as some kind of motivation to dominate? I’ll be interested in the postgame on this one.
83-79 CHI final
Parker 20 pts, 14 reb, 4 ast, 6 TO, 2 stl, 1 blk in 30:15
McCowan 20 pts, 13 reb, 0 ast, 5 TO, 1 stl, 2 blk in 33:12 (off the bench)

| I only caught the 4th Quarter, but Cox defended well while I was watching. Parker only made that one uncontested layup when Indiana's team defense broke down. Otherwise, she missed all her shots with Cox guarding her. Candace did make 3 free throws, but I believe one of the fouls was not on Cox. To me, the difference in the game was Quigley making two tough baskets with defenders in her face.

| The O-foul on T.McC was pretty bogus IMO. She does have a tendency to lead with her elbow which is sometimes called, but in this case her elbow was right next to her chest since Parker was leaning on her full body length and flopped as soon as T turned. But you can depend on Flores (my least favorite ref) to make a game changing call at some point. Also of note were the 5 FTs T left on the line. Make those and maybe win the game. Start practicing or it will be more 'hack a shaq' for all opponents.

Nothing like playing Indiana a couple of times to make your record look better.

It was an exciting game. Wanted Indy to pull this off
That duo of Big T & Allen - should be the way forward

| Kelsey Mitchell is playing well, it appears, and deserves better than this. She needs a chance to play on a good team with a good coach ...

| Tbh the Fever really miss a player like Allemand. Drob has been playing great for them but teams can really sag off of her.
