Indiana is 4-for-27 from 3. The only one really with a groove is Howard, but she's only gotten 8 shots. Just 7 for Boston. Valks' defense collapsing the paint and giving Fever all the threes they want.

Indiana has figured out if you contain Burton, you stifle the Valks offense. They're switching and trapping, showing her bodies, and not letting her into the teeth of the defense.

That’s two tough games against Atlanta and Phoenix, two of the league’s best teams. This one to the Mercury with just eight players. Not too shabby at all.
