Yep. Quigley with 13 has been carrying the Sky so far, and for once they won't be playing from behind.

So I saw the last few minutes of the quarter, and it looks as though Sky is hitting them from the outside, with Quigley doing her sixth man of the year stuff, good for her, and Indiana appears to be focused on driving to the hole.

All of the Sky starters have scored but in single digits, including Epiph who is 2 of 4 from 3, and Fowles has two fouls. (been dying to say that for a while). Quigley has 13 points!

For Indiana, as a team they have shot 1 for 7 from 3, and only Zellous is in double figures with 10.

Score at the half is 37 - 29 Chicago

 

[RadyLady]

2 very quick fouls for Vandersloot...wow

Indiana cannot convert and Young gets a 2.

2 buckets later for Indiana, score is not 39 - 33

 

[RadyLady]

YOung drains a 2 and gets fouled for an an' 1

misses, score is 41- 33

So it's DT vs Allie in the finals...

 

[RadyLady]

Good grief, what are they heaving up? two gross misses by Indiana

 

[RadyLady]

So it's DT vs Allie in the finals...

why say that now?

Prince is fouled, Elena is out, and the Sky turn it over on a 5 second call

 

[RadyLady]

FINALLY a long range shot goes in for Indiana....Zellous for 3

 

[RadyLady]

Prince out, Quigley back in.......shots aren't falling for the Sky.....have to get some stops if they aren't getting points...and Zellous scores another!! I guess that driving to the basket thing wasn't getting it down in the first half, something that was discussed in a half time interview with one of the Fever coaches. Not so much not getting it done, I guess the focus for the team was on the drive and they were passing up open shots. Well, they aren't passing them up anymore

Lead down to 3, 5:22 to go Chicago calls a time out

Jes joshin'...

 

[RadyLady]

Indiana stepping up the D, Sky confused about the shot clock resulting in a turnover. Prince back in.

 

[RadyLady]

Nice play to get Prince open who drains a 3!!

On the other end, Indiana lose the ball to a thieving Prince and Coleman picks up her 3rd foul.

Another time out....

 

[RadyLady]

Clear path foul? Chicago gets the ball after they shoot two....I don't know this rule. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Prince makes both, score is 46 - 38

 

[RadyLady]

Maggie Lucas is in

Didn't look like a clear path to the basket to me.... Essentially it's an intentional foul... But I'm not sure she would have beaten everyone else to the rim.

Christmas takes it to Big Syl and wins her bucket! Quigley answers on the other end. She has 15

thanks.

Zellous throws up something, I don't know what, misses everything and turn over on a shot clock violation.

 

[RadyLady]

Fowles has misses her last two shots, Larkins shoots and makes a 2
Score 48 - 42 Chicago

Holy Moly - Quigley possibly fouled as the clock ran out....they are checking the monitors....

They confirm the foul on Maggie Lucas for a reach in...OUCHY!!

 

[RadyLady]

Quigley shoots and makes both
1:51 left in the quarter, 50 - 42 Chi-cah-go

 

[RadyLady]

Larkins shoots and makes one of two free throws on Fowles third foul...

 

[RadyLady]

50 - 46, 38.8 seconds to go

Fowles shoot and gets a basket for an an'1, misses the free throw.
52 45, less than 20 seconds to go

End of the quarter....

 

[RadyLady]

Wow - Indiana has out rebounded Chicago 30 - 13 thus far....

 

[RadyLady]

Fowles is a beast - has 2 buckets so far this quarter and gets another foul on Larkins, Syl makes the an' 1
Score is 57 - 47



Geez....I have seen more air balls and weird shots from Indiana this game....

 

[pksundevil]

EDD will be well rested if they need her, but if they don't I'm sure the extra rest will help her in the Finals.
