FEVER LOOK TO BATTLE BACK AFTER FALLING DOWN 1-0 IN 1ST ROUND SERIES VS ATL
MITCHELL GARNERS 1ST TEAM ALL WNBA HONORS
Atlanta C Britney Griner shoots over Fever
By Deon Cash
The Indiana Fever will look to bounce back tonight in game 2 of the WNBA Playoffs.
Facing a 1-0 deficit to Atlanta after a 80-68 loss Sunday, the Fever need to strategize effectively to keep their hopes alive. They started fast, held a early lead and lost it in the 2nd quarter, where the Dream took control of the game and never let up.
Their game 2 performance will be critical after the tough loss in Atlanta, putting them in a challenging position.
Without star guard Caitlin Clark, the Fever have settled into their roles and have played some top tier hoops.
However tonight, the team must depend on others to elevate their game a little more to stay alive.
Kelsey Mitchell, an 1st Team All-WNBA star, dropped 27 and provided the scoring prowess in the previous game, giving the Fever a glimmer of hope for a turnaround in game two. Mitchell was named 1st Team All-WNBA for the great season she put together.
Gainbridge Fieldhouse will be rocking with the great home team fan base as the Fever led attendance once again this season.
But ultimately, this game will come down to the Fevers ability to stop Rhyne Howard, Alisia Gray, and neutralize Britney Griner and the inside presence of the ATL as they did when they defeated the Dream earlier in the season.
The game will tip off tonight at 730pm ET.
