Taking Indiana +2.5 for 2H. No, I don't think they will be up by 13 again. But a lucky break for them might sit down Taurasi, and then they will absolutely kill the boards for extended periods of time. She is a lot more for Phoenix than just a scoring machine.

Taurasi distributes on offense, being almost only effective driving threat, collects tons of defensive boards. With three fouls at HT I'm hoping for my Fever girls do a little more dribble drives to the basket and get her a quick 4th. It would be pivotal to my masterplan.

Wow, they've already played over 3 minutes before I managed to inform the fine public about my awesome 2H bet.

But I did, in fact, bet it. Put my account balance on it.

But, she stays in the game, and scores 2-2 FTs. She can't effectively defend. Great news for Indiana, and (once again, the Over)

Having to play in foul trouble and secondguessing yourself really takes a toll on a player. Just ask DH12.

End of 3rd.... Quick 11 points in succession, took under 50 seconds! They just ran and layed it up on both ends, with no defense to speak of!

Scorching shooting by the Fever last several minutes. Ever since Taurasi went out, Indiana just look bigger, faster, meaner.

I WANT THE COACH TO EMPHASIZE TO HER GIRLS THE IMPORTANCE OF GETTING DIANA HER QUICK FIFTH FOUL DURING THE INTERMISSION.

Let's
(a ball for every personal foul DT should have within 2 minutes of 4th quarter)

Katie Douglas, apparently, was trying to cross that ball behind her back and go at the basket - and straight at Taurasi. Good girl. Following coach's orders, undoubtedly.

Too bad she slipped, lost it and Phoenix got away on the break. Luckily, Indiana fouled before the shot. No free throws.

But Cappie with a jumper... Indiana up by 4, 8:50 to go in the 4th, with the ball

Taurasi keeps making an impression of tenacious defense. In fact she is just backing off as soon as she gets close to an Indiana player. Incredible mental focus though. Free throws keep coming easily for Diana. 6 of 7 now... Did she actually miss one? Did you see her miss??

A great hustle play by the tiny Cappie under the basket... And one, with a chance to make it a 4 point game... 89 Pho 93 Ind with 7:00 to play

Great isolation by Indiana. Hoffman ends up with the ball, and just Taurasi between her and Phoenix basket. Easy two off the backboard.

But DT7 comes right back with a three pointer. And Indiana gets stuffed, can tie in the next possession.

Phoenix can tie*.... and they do, with just under 3:40 to go in 4th quarter. 98-98... and turnover by the Fever! Phoenix has a chance to go up for the first time since early 3Q

Great kickout by Taurasi, three pointer made by T.Johnson, 102-98 Phoenix

2:24 IND - Full timeout (Timeout #2)

Apparently, Phoenix have survived the Diana-less tough 3rd quarter.

I need Fever to make it to OT so they can finally foul'er out!!!!

Mercury have the ball, up by two, 1 minute to play. Worst of all they have... Taurasi!!!!!   Both teams in the penalty.



Offensive foul! Wow, chance for my girls. Tied at 102 with 48 seconds to play!!!!!!

The Aussie only makes one FT out of two (same thing Diana did a couple minutes ago, not converting a layup and effectively scoring just one point on two FTs on a possession where she was supposed to get three, layup and one).

Indiana down 102-103 with the ball, with no timeouts, 26.9 game clock, 23 seconds shot clock.

WE NEED A SCORE HERE

Oh man, I thought that foul was on Phoenix. Catchings picks it up. And the game is as good as done. 14.2 seconds, three points down

AND SHE MADE THE TREY

OH MY DEAR JESUSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Catchings just made a three pointer to put Indiana up 112-111.

Amazing thing is the situation:
- it's overtime of an incredibly high scoring game
- she tried three threes before and went 0-3

And she just fouled out defending Taurasi, DT makes two FTs, 113 Phoenix 112 Indiana 2:30 to play

Douglas finally misses a layup.. Cappie makes the jumper, and Indiana finds themselves in another 3 point hole with 20.2 to play.

116-119

An incredible game.

What a show.

Wow.... wow.....wow

I'll win the money back (besides I had a little something on Indiana +4.5 for kicks and giggles)... but this show I won't forget anytime soon.
