00:00A sizable 20-point lead.
00:02С ней inadvertently get hit in the face by her teammate D'Erica Hamby at the end of that second
00:07quarter.
00:08And what she told me is that she got poked in the eye.
00:11So that is what Wheeler is dealing with right now.
00:15But she is clear to play.
00:16And then also she's on the court right now as you guys can see.
00:20And then with defense when it comes to the Sparks, well, coach Roberts told me that at the half court
00:25she feels like they're doing an okay job.
00:26But that she also feels like they're getting beat on the offensive boards.

19:05So Cunningham will head to the line
19:09You saw Len Roberts wondering if that was called against Gray, it was as Cunningham can't roll in the free
19:14throw
19:16It's that time of year again, make sure your voice is heard for this year's WNBA All-Star voting presented
19:22by Ally, scan the QR code on your screen now to vote for the WNBA All-Star starters
19:31And that's going to be a tough 10 to choose, the four guards, the six front court players
19:38And especially when you've got a handful of players that could be first time All-Stars because of the way
19:45in which they are whooping, it's not just the same names we always talk about
19:49Burrell can't get the pop a shot, it'll be Indiana ball
19:54So the fever will go to their bench and how about Brie Hall stepping onto the floor for the first
19:59time for the fever
20:00She's not appeared in a game this season
20:02She'll be 23 tomorrow
20:05And she's now activated for her second game of the season
20:09They gave her presents and gifts before the game and now she gets an opportunity to hit the floor
20:15Great opportunity to get valuable minutes 12 minutes left in this basketball game
20:19Actually players that are on a developmental contract there's something to prove right?
20:23You want to make sure that you can get an official roster spot and stay on a team
20:27So these are important moments for a player like Brie Hall
20:29And Cunningham takes another shot and essentially the same spot and this time it's Burrell and that's more free throws
20:36coming up here for Cunningham
20:41And so it's a long season we mentioned for Indiana on their end they want to remain healthy and be
20:46sharp at the end for the Sparks
20:48How do they navigate this four-week period minimum without Kelsey Plum?
20:53She's gonna be reevaluated with that lower leg injury in four weeks. How do they try to just?
20:59How do they keep things buoy during this period?
21:01I would say first you rely on your vets you rely on Nekka, Goumike, Erika Wheeler
21:07To be on the floor to make good decisions and hopefully to stay healthy and then it's about bringing others
21:14with you
21:15I think we've seen some bright spots out of Ray Burrell
21:17But still a player that is getting accustomed to being depended on to playing major minutes as a starter and
21:22a contributor
21:23I think for the Sparks right now you can't give yourself a chance to win when you're giving up 81
21:29points in less than 30 minutes
21:31It's just difficult
21:32So to me the work starts on the defensive side of the basketball with schemes with connectivity
21:37What can they do differently to get better results on this side of the basketball?
21:41Ice has given up over 200 points in the last seven quarters
21:44So a league record 125 points in regulation as Harris continues to get the job done
21:51They gave up the 125 to Toronto in regulation a WNBA record in that last game
21:58And if I'm being honest if you're other teams and you see that coming into the game
22:03What are you thinking?
22:05Barbecue chicken
22:06You're thinking I'm gonna go and score on them because they've given up so many points
22:09I mean look at this 125 points in regulation
22:12Marina Maybee with a phenomenal game
22:1653 points that tied the single game scoring record
22:19They also allowed 23 pointers
22:21It felt like all of them went to Mabry
22:23They did
22:24But it felt like all of them were shot by Mabry
22:27But it's just a tough game and so then you turn around you're on the road again
22:30You're trying to be better and this fever team that shoots the ball so well at home
22:35Just punches you in the mouth and has not stopped punching and think about it
22:39Indiana wanted to respond after their loss at home to Phoenix
22:42That's a team that they feel they should not have lost to as
22:45The Mercury all of a sudden have strung together back-to-back wins
22:49But they are absolutely getting the best punch from the fever and Mitchell skates to the rim
22:55The bucket's good and put one more on it
23:01She's just too quick you let her get ahead of steam
23:04You're beat and right here just attacks the hip and then goes with that inside hand finish to get an
23:10angle on Hamby
23:12That's a quick play
23:13Kelsey Mitchell has got it all third leading scorer
23:16In the W she averages 23.6 points per game at home this year
23:20She's now got 24 this evening
23:24It's true
23:2530 point lead for the fever one minute left here in the third quarter Burrell no good on the three
23:31Harris another rebound her fourth
23:32She's got 16 points a new season high for her getting the start in place of caitlin clark
23:39Under a minute left here
23:41Hall her first action of the season handles the rock paul puts a shot up can't get it in
23:51Williams long three she'll try it no good
23:56Harris eyes down floor up ahead it's billings outside hall the bench raises up
24:04Happy birthday brie hall
24:10This is why these moments are valuable right to prove yourself
24:14To immediately enter the game and make a positive impact
24:17Hamby the pump fake the flyby and the two Hamby stringing together a nice quarter here
24:2512 seconds left here in the third harris
24:28Up top
24:29We'll get the screen from hall
24:33Hall will flare paul she's gonna get the last look clock winding down hall once more can't get it to
24:39drop but indiana
24:42Separates and leaves no debtors for you all how does this team put together that collective effort that you talked
24:47to us about um
24:48I mean we stay ready we work on it in practice and so we know where our shots coming from
24:52we just got to be confident knock it down
24:54You've got 16 points
24:55How do you continue to put yourself in position in the fourth quarter to help close it out for this
24:59team?
24:59Uh take what the defense gives me that's all
25:01Thank you
25:03And one thing you have to give a lot of credit to for indiana is their defense they've held the
25:08sparks who put up 97 points against
25:10Toronto to just 58 points the sparks shooting 38 from the field
25:1513 percent from three we talked about having complete basketball games where for 40 minutes you're doing what you need
25:23to do
25:23They have done that for 30 everything has looked good
25:26Atkins able to pipe in the jumper she's got nine points now
25:31Atkins really a player that the sparks could use to get going just in this game but for the rest
25:37of this season just
25:38Shooting numbers that are below her career averages
25:43Billings rises can't get it to drop
25:47Let's see what kind of fight the sparks show here to start the fourth quarter wheeler flares a pass miscommunication
25:53It's billings with the steal billings rolling all the way to the cup can't get it to drop
25:58But picks up the foul pambi can't believe it
26:03Moe billings got this steal and shot out of a cannon watch the change of pace soon as she gets
26:08it and gets out takes a little bit of contact
26:11And Hamby must have gotten her
26:14From behind
26:17The sparks still have a challenge remaining
26:20As billings with 13 points five rebounds but just doing everything that you want from that position
26:27Especially with the personnel around her on indiana
26:31You want someone that you always have to worry about doing your little things the utility things and she told
26:37us
26:37How she gets in offensively is through cutting is through offensive rebounds and rim running
26:44You've seen that on full display
26:46We mentioned the multiple teams that she's been on but
26:50Her patience has been rewarded her consistency and you said it she's a wanted player
26:55Wasn't that she went to different teams because nobody wanted her she was picked up in the expansion draft and
26:59indiana saw her the bill of void left by natasha
27:02Howard as
27:03Hamby cannot get it defended by billings
27:06Moe billings also said that she
27:08Built a good relationship with caitlin clark and step white
27:11As cunningham gets in on the action
27:16But she said from that relationship she felt comfortable enough to continue it here
27:20In the w and she certainly filled a nice role at the four position
27:24Hamby the cut to the rim the nice find as she lays it in and be now up to 15
27:29points that ties
27:30Agumake for the team high
27:34Mitchell bumping drive mitchell right through the lane unimpeded with the left
27:39He'll just carve you up
27:42We go to Hamby once more poked away by cunningham
27:46G's rolling huffing and puffing down the fourth on about a tag or three there instead held it up
27:51It's billings billings knocked off her spot. It's gonna be a foul against Hamby
28:02Offense offense offense cunningham find some space beyond the three all alone
28:08You know what's gonna happen
28:10Knocked down at just seven points combined over the last two games has nine tonight
28:16Four five in the free throw line perfect one for one from the three-pointer line
28:19And she had spent extra time after their walkthrough just getting shots up from outside because
28:27She'd struggled with the three-point shot over the last couple of games prior to this one
28:30But finally finding a rhythm as Hamby
28:33Fouls out of this game with her sixth foul and billings once again
28:36Continues help indiana weaponize the free throw line
28:40Just a frustrating day
28:43These are the growing pains that happen when you've got such a dynamic player that's out and you have to
28:49figure out
28:49It felt like Hamby was put in more vulnerable positions today defensively trying to
28:56Compete with the inside presence of the fever, but it's been the calling card of the sparks to foul, right?
29:02It's kind of where they beat themselves, and so you're seeing that and how early D.F. Hamby fouled out
29:07Well, it's 21 fouls, but it's the fouls on
29:10Shot attempts or passes or reach-throughs, you know things you don't necessarily need to do
29:16And keep in mind this team is second to last in the league and block shots
29:19They don't have a true rim protector out there that you can funnel things to that can rise and go
29:23straight up
29:24Oh, a little show and go floats it in for two more
29:29Big ol' smile on the way back down on defense
29:32And Wheeler the turnover couldn't connect with Park
29:36Fever ball
29:37And I love this take from Bree Hall
29:40Watch the shot fake because she's made one and then the step through that long step how about the touch
29:46With the right hand
29:48A.B. says that's my south carolina's sister right there
29:52Hooping
29:55They could have made field goals with a 30-point performance and so many things to highlight on that graphic
30:00start with cardoso that we got the chance to see
30:03Last week and real looks really good for chicago feels like she's building steam now
30:08At this point in the season for chicago and then how about toronto?
30:12I mean they lost britney sykes a handful of games ago
30:15Who was marina may breeze batman to robin in the backcourt and mavery has just said yeah
30:22We're not going to let that be the main issue. We're not going to let that be the huge factor
30:26And just was explosive in her scoring
30:3053 53 is a lot that's a lot of points
30:33Oh my goodness, and then can I talk about enough about your golden state valkyries?
30:38I say yours because you obviously do the local broadcast. Thank you for the clarification here
30:42Yes, you do the local broadcast
30:44I tune into my teammate when you're not with me. I appreciate that
30:48But they look good. I mean for an expansion team last year that had an awesome season
30:52Really showed us why expansion is so important in this league and then to follow that up this year
30:57With the way that they've been playing, hooping, leading the league in defense
31:01It's been really fun to watch out of bounds on the fever
31:04It's one thing i've noticed the top six to seven teams in the w
31:09Just play really good basketball
31:11It will be hard to believe that two of those teams are going home after the first round of the
31:16playoffs this year
31:18It just feels that they are star laden well coached they can
31:23score the ball they defend well and
31:25Of those teams that we mentioned the top of the standings teams like new york dallas golden state
31:31Minnesota las vegas two of those teams are not making it out of the first round
31:35How about atlanta and atlanta and atlanta looks very good very strong and confident
31:40But you're absolutely right and those are the top six or seven teams right now
31:43Yep, as they we have plenty of basketball left for a couple of teams who have had major players out
31:49due to injuries start to get things cooking again
31:51Well, we know the upcoming expansion as atkins an expansive three from beyond the arc she's able to bury that
31:59one
32:02So a quick timeout here from steph white she was not pleased about that at all
32:07This is what I love about steph white in that it doesn't matter what the game looks like
32:10She's coaching her team to be the best they can be i'll be right back here on cbs
32:15position to knock down the triple learn more about gravity at wnba.com and stephanie white called that timeout after
32:23ariel atkins buried a
32:24Long three tiffany blackman you were near the huddle what did she have to say as she continues to coach?
32:2829 i was jordan and you all pointed out she didn't look too happy when she called that timeout
32:33I listened to her kind of get in get on to this defense telling them they've got to play defense
32:38in real time and ice you know
32:41The coaching never stops no matter what the lead is
32:44That is how you build tip championship dna right there's no secret that this team having back-to-back number
32:50one picks
32:51Has the talent and the depth with what we're seeing to be a championship contender but it's moments like this
32:57when there's six minutes left in the game
32:58You're up now 31 that it still matters if you're playing a high level of basketball and especially knowing steph
33:06white the defensive side of the basketball is where she takes pride in with this group
33:11Indiana now with back-to-back 100 point games it's the fourth time in the last six games they've gone
33:18over the century mark
33:19Whole lot of buckets pace and efficiency in less than 40 minutes is very impressive
33:25But one thing about stephanie white she's the only coach in w history to have a winning percentage over 600
33:31not to win a championship
33:32I feel like it'll be coming at some point
33:37For coach white a former coach of the year back when she was with the connecticut sun in 2023
33:44Burrell attacking a transition slips and falls but is fouled by home
33:49well thursday july 9th summer's guiltiest pleasure is back expect the unexpected when a new season of betrayals backstabs and
33:56blindsides begins
33:57big brother premieres thursday july 9th on cbs and streaming on paramount plus
34:04You never know who you can trust in big brother ice oh i can trust you i know that
34:09candy
34:16we've got a lot of wmba games over the last couple of years and i think what really stands out
34:22this season is
34:23the scoring efficiency of teams we are seeing
34:26record scoring record assist number chicago recently set the record with 38 assists in their game indiana
34:34the quality of play
34:36and you mentioned the upcoming expansion is going to give
34:39even more opportunity to a lot of talented players that currently just don't have the minutes
34:44couldn't agree with you more i mean it just allows for some younger players and rookies that you
34:50know a few years ago would have been cut in training camp because they didn't have a spot but because
34:54we're expanding and adding more spots and more teams it allows for more opportunity and we're seeing that across the
35:01league
35:06foul on ray burrell and lynn roberts wants to challenge this as burrell is down by the sparks bench
35:14so a challenge on the floor from the sparks
35:17indian as we said back-to-back games of 100 plus points
35:24it's a successful challenge and it'll be la sparks ball so they take the foul away from burrell
35:32and laura siegler one bounded yeah and this was just the right call a loose ball
35:39after review just did not see much contact there that warranted a no call in the immediate aftermath of the
35:44whistle ray burrell gets the ball therefore la will get the ball to resume play challenge has been deemed
35:50successful they'll retain their timeout and their ability to challenge once more thank you
35:55so ray burrell on the right side of the challenge she lost a challenge earlier when aliyah boston was
36:00whistled for a foul blocked the shot it landed on burrell when she was out of bounds and gave the
36:04ball back to indiana
36:09as we mentioned the sparks trying to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2020
36:14they're one game back in the nine spot right now still very early in the season the fever looking
36:19for back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 2012 the block on the other end stepping into
36:25the
36:26game grace van sleuton enforcing the back line
36:32a foul against raven johnson so that'll be side out for the sparks
36:41you really like raven johnson she's coming off a game where she had a season high seven assists and
36:46brings a different piece to indiana on this floor yeah i mean one you just know that she's defensive
36:51minded point guard really takes pride on that side of the basketball watch her fighting inside ah gets
36:57whistled a little too much contact trying to front the post but what i've actually enjoyed the most
37:03about her game has been the aggressiveness offensively i mean if you watched her in college you knew that
37:09she could score a little bit but her calling card was defense and facilitating for her teammates
37:14but it felt like her offense took a step up as soon as she was drafted to the fever she
37:20won two
37:20national titles with south carolina as hole nearly gets the steal she was the sec defensive player of
37:26the year last season damaris dantis playing for the first time in the last two games coming in for
37:32indiana and hole just swats that out of there that was great one-on-one defense
37:38van sleuton van skipping to the cup picks up the foul almost gets the two and williams
37:46will bring it back down the other end what a big bucket from van sleuton she's made two really nice
37:51plays both sides of the basketball williams fading away able to get the jumper to drop
37:58that might be another player that's really going to have to play more minutes without plump for the
38:03next month or so for the sparks is keanu williams
38:0811 players have now scored for the fever dantis flips it in johnson skies for the offensive rebound
38:15hole up top left all alone or three no good rebound to siegler 3 30 left in this one
38:27latson picks up the dribble
38:31segler waiting for a little action takes it back out to williams the three no good and indiana closes it
38:39out again we mentioned holding opponents to just 80 points a game and their victories this season
38:46los angeles well below their season average backdoor cut
38:49ball she'll get another look from the corner
38:52ball here rattles it home
38:55not the dish from van sleuton though i mean caught that thing deep into the paint and found the next
39:01available option
39:03gray going one-on-one fluria moves and she's able to get it to drop and picks up the foul
39:10well tomorrow cbs sports brings you more wnba action first up dallas hosts minnesota at two eastern
39:16followed by the reigning champs las vegas ticking on chicago at four coverage begins with the wnba

39:28chance gray coming off her two highest scoring performances of the season getting a little run
39:34here at the end of the game as ty harris will check out a season high 16 points for her
39:39five rebounds
39:41three assists got it started with the first bucket of the game and made three
39:47she was just dialed in from the beginning understood what her role was
39:50how she could affect the game
39:54and really played just so poised tiffany you've got more on ty harris well jordan
39:59i told you all that she grew up here this is like a homecoming being back with this fever team
40:05but also i should point out she was there back in 2012 when the fever won their first championship so
40:12her fever fandom runs deep and she could not be more excited about this opportunity that she's getting
40:17to be a part of this team be back in indiana a pretty neat opportunity for her to be a
40:22fan here now
40:23playing for the team and that's going to be a foul off the ball as cannon was launched out of
40:28one towards
40:28the stanchion nothing like playing at home comfortable you know your people are here to watch give love and
40:35support you get a home-cooked meal maybe after some home games come on sounds sweet
40:43that's a shout out to my mom i'm missing a home-cooked meal what's the best thing she makes
40:47oh lasagna lasagna was an apple pie all right i know who i'm calling next time we got a game
40:53near jersey yes denise we coming to you
40:58cannon who had a season high 10 points in 14 minutes thursday at toronto rolls in the first free throw
41:07for los angeles getting a chance to regroup here it's going to take some time to figure out
41:12the most effective way to play without kelsey plum we mentioned one and four without plum
41:16second leading scorer in the league cameron brink who was really starting to put things together
41:20she's out with a sprained ankle she's missed four games this season brink also dealt with
41:26a facial fracture at one point and just taking a lot of shots this season
41:32the sparks knew they had all the pieces but they need all those pieces to be healthy
41:39well let's take a look at tonight's game reset delivered by instacart indiana with the 32 point
41:46lead both teams have two timeouts plus their reset timeout as well too and each team has been successful
41:54with the challenge so they have one more to go if they want to use it under two minutes left
41:59here in
42:00indianapolis both these teams are coming off losses
42:05the fever responding well here offensively with 109 points so far still a little bit of time left
42:14it's interesting we mentioned the depth of this league and the scoring and how difficult it's going
42:19to be to make an all-star team but you still feel there's a couple of folks that'll make their
42:24first
42:24ever all-star team oh absolutely starting with uh marina mavery not even just because of the 53 points
42:30she just scored but what she's been doing for toronto tempo team that's been flirting in the middle pack
42:36of the league and could be in the top eight the rookie guard from jersey and olivia miles who has
42:41just
42:41phenomenally led the links in scoring but also the assists per game and then jess shepherd might be my
42:48my favorite pick because she is a true story of opportunity and expansion jess shepherd was in
42:54minnesota playing behind nafisa collier we saw moments of brilliance last year from her she got a
43:00triple double but she didn't have a lot of time to contribute again because of who she was playing
43:06behind but talk about expansion dallas gets her and picks her up and then man she just explodes not
43:13doing anything outside her wheelhouse but just a major contributor and she can score rebound and facilitate
43:18one other name i want to mention it's not going to be their first all-star team but it's a
43:23name that
43:23in the preseason you probably wouldn't have penciled in that's natasha howard yeah the job she's done
43:27for minnesota defensively her effectiveness on the offensive end averaging nearly 17.7 rebounds
43:34and it's really helped anchor their defense to be one of the best in the league once again
43:37talk about a player that's probably maybe towards the end of their career going back to a coach she
43:43started her career with and cheryl reevin those two have been doing a lot of damage for the links
43:50segler sees one go through and so the sparks continue with their youth movement on the floor to fight
43:57turnover by indiana segler will scoop it up under 115 left to go transition opportunity cannon corner three
44:06back-to-back buckets for the sparks now yeah good sequence they're putting together generating high
44:12percentage looks valuable minutes for some of the young players
44:20dotis waiting to get the hand off to johnson possibly it's van sleuton on the perimeter
44:25shot clock at six van sleuton inside to don't just don't just put it up too strong tips it
