Sky and the Fever - game 2

[RadyLady]

The trainers are working on Elena, baskets are exchanged, Sylvia now with 10, then scores again and gets an an' 1 on Zellous. Time out on the floor

46 - 31, Syl still to shoot her gimme.

 

[OneTrickPony]

How does Elena look?

 

[RadyLady]

Sounds like the Sky have cratered mentally after all the late starts...

dunno..they certainly look disorganized. I am not a fan of Vandersloot (I tried), but she IMO is not the greatest of decision makers....the offense is better this half so far, but not great. Fowles back in means that they have power in the paint if they get the ball to her.

 

[RadyLady]

How does Elena look?

Trainers are done with her, but she is sitting on the bench

 

[RadyLady]

Fowles misses the shot, and the Sky forces a shot clock violation despite the mismatch on Zellous who is having a great bame. Vendersloot gets fouled on the other end, shoots and makes 2. Lucas is in for the Fever.

Oh, man...

 

[RadyLady]

another 2 for Fowles!!! Score is 46 - 43....

Sky continues to play hard D, forcing the Fever to make bad shots at the very end of the shot clock
Crowd is waking up

'Sloot shoots and makes the bucket, lead is down to ONE

 

[RadyLady]

Christmas answers with a 3 - I think that it is her first bucket of the game. Lead back up to four.

 

[RadyLady]

And Quigley answers with a 3 and the crowd goes NUTZ!! "bout time

 

[OneTrickPony]

It's getting to be Elena time...

 

[RadyLady]

and it's Christmas in Indiana - another 3....and the score at the end of the quarter is 52 - 48.

It's a game now.....

 

[OneTrickPony]

Is Karima that much of a 3-pt threat...?

 

[RadyLady]

Is Karima that much of a 3-pt threat...?

She must be, or she was a good girl this year and Santa is helping.

Fowles has 14, 'Sloot has 10, Quigley has 9

Larkins Coleman and Zellous are all in double figures for Indiana.

Here we go...

 

[RadyLady]

Elena is back in. BIG fight for rebounds, Thomas gets called for a pushing foul. OK, if that's what you want to call it.

 

[RadyLady]

Quigley benefits from a great screen, and all of a sudden we are tied at 52.

January answers for 2...short lived tie. Fowles ties it up again, Sky is finding her in the paint

Maggie Lucas shoots and misses, Catch cleans it up for 2

 

[RadyLady]

Here we go....another 2 by Quigley...tied at 56

Watching some street ball now.....

 

[RadyLady]

Big scramble after Indiana loses their footing, Chicago gets possession on the out of bounds.

Christmas gifts as good as she gets (get it?), blocks a shot and the Fever forces a 7th turnover

 

[RadyLady]

Catch for 2, 58 - 56 and Elena - hello Elena shoots and makes a 3, and Chicago get's their first lead!!!!

 

[RadyLady]

Short lived, but now the teams are trading baskets, lead see-sawing....

Zellous is fouled on the way to the bucket, shot counts and gets a free throw. Indiana up one, with Zellous shooting after the time out.

 

[OneTrickPony]

Christmas gifts as good as she gets (get it?)r

Barely, but yes...

 

[RadyLady]

we are seeing some ...um...nice camera work? C'mon guys, get it together.....looking at feet...the floor....wow

 

[RadyLady]

Here we go....5:23 left to go in the game..

Zellous make the shot, 63 - 61 Indiana leads

 

[OneTrickPony]

Indiana's guards are having a great year...

 

[RadyLady]

Sloot shoots at the camera men...prolly was watching the monitor earlier, and someone gets their fourth foul for Chicago while I was writing that nonsense.

January increases the lead to 4
