00:00The biggest game that could possibly be provided, that is Fever Sky.

00:07Make no mistake about it, this is the marquee matchup right now in this league.

00:13It's the game that draws the most eyes, whether that's in attendance or on television.

00:19Sky Fever has been record-setting, and we have the Indiana Fever checking into this

00:25game as a road favorite, because the Indiana Fever have started to put win after win on

00:32the board, and it's gone a long way.

00:36And the big change for the Fever was no longer playing the Tier 1 teams in this league what

00:41felt like in all of their games.

00:44And for the Fever, when there was a lot of conversation about the early parts of their

00:49schedule, and some said, you know, people want the Fever to have an easy game, the problem

00:54is the Fever are the easy game, it's turned out that's no longer the case.

01:00They've won 5 out of 7, including a pair of wins against the Chicago Sky.

01:07First meeting, 71-70, a narrow victory for Indiana.

01:12Victory number 2 was a 92-83 W for the Fever, who now have an opportunity to take their

01:20third game off of the Chicago Sky.

01:24Now the reason that this matchup is big is, of course, Katelyn Clark as a starting point,

01:29the biggest star, hands down, in the WNBA, likely the WNBA's history, if you're honest

01:34with yourself.

01:36But everybody needs a rival, everybody needs a counterpart.

01:38The interesting thing is, the initial counterpart for Clark was actually Kennedy Carter.

01:44The shove which elevated things.

01:46When we first saw these teams meet, while Clark vs. Reese for the first time was exciting,

01:51it wasn't the story.

01:54It is very much so now, the story.

01:57The second meeting saw both play very well, Angel Reese has only been getting better,

02:03you of course had the flagrant foul, which led to some very annoying conversation, if

02:08you're honest, all in all.

02:10But now you do have a full-on rivalry here.
