00:00The Mystics on the road winning outright as a seven-point underdog in Indy 89 84

00:09well over a total of 168 and a half. The Fever did outscore the Sticks by 16

00:15points in the fourth and final quarter but unable to at the end in the final

00:19minute to completely mount that comeback. But Kaitlyn Clark 29 points 5 of 9 from

00:263, 13 assists, 5 rebounds, 5 steals, 3 blocks. The only player in WNBA history

00:35or in the NBA's history since steals and blocks were first recorded back in the

00:411973-74 season to put up a stat line that looks like that. Yes a loss and I

00:49know Clark herself would tell you that's the biggest thing to take away from

00:52yesterday's game in Indianapolis but a historic performance we have never seen

00:57in professional basketball here in the States. Yeah and also it's one of those

01:03where sometimes those early starts you wonder if it's gonna affect one team

01:07more than the other. The Mystics really clowned the Fever in the first quarter

01:10second quarter and third quarter because in your right mind you say hey by the

01:13way that fourth quarter ended 29 to 13 Fever like wow they probably won by 25

01:17plus points and they still lost the game by five but Kaitlyn Clark was certainly

01:21sensational in that game. It's just tough like you would rather have that

01:24type of loss to like the aces like hey what are you gonna do it's a great

01:27basketball team. The Mystics are a bad basketball team they should not be

01:30getting up 20 plus points over the first three quarters here with you needing a

01:33massive comeback just to try to get back into the game. But again the focal point

01:37is always gonna be on Kaitlyn Clark and that stat line certainly was tremendous.
