All right, and the Indiana fever.
They're just 10 days away from being back in Cambridge,
Philadelphia, folks, for the second-half of the WNBA season.
Caitlin Clark and company have been using this Olympic break
to their advantage on and off the court.
Our Angela Moria talked to Clark about her time off.
I feel like I'm ready to.
To get back out there and get playing,
but that's probably because that's really all I've known over
the course of the last,
you know, year. Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark played nine
straight months of basketball until last month's Olympic break.
Her favorite part of the time off?
More basketball. Just getting some time to relax and reset.
And then honestly, just like getting in here and getting
to work on some stuff that we probably haven't got
to work on all year long.
I think it's been good.
You don't have to mentally prepare for games.
You know, that takes a lot of mental preparation and
it's mentally taxing at the same time.
So just getting that reset.
Been really good for us.
It's given Clark time to explore her new city.
I love it. I'm trying to find new restaurants to
try,
try as much as I can find my favorites.
Been able to do that a little bit more since
I've had a little bit of a break.
But yeah, I mean, it's it's just a good place.
The break now essentially over the fever.
Have been on this court practicing for the last two
weeks getting ready for the first game of the second-half
of the season against the Mercury next week.
The number one focus in these practices,
defense. Getting stops transition defense,
especially just you know, our turnovers are causing some of
those transition baskets.
So if we can clean that up,
that transition will help, you know,
take take care of that as well.
Everybody's going to be, you know,
competing really hard coming back from the break.
Obviously with playoffs on the line and 1:00 and 2:00
get one or two games can really decide the difference
between that eight and nine spot.
And obviously we're in 7th place right now,
but that can change from game to game as we
know.
So I think it's the little details,
the little margins that's going to be what's important for
us.
Little margins that could mean a big playoff spot for
the Fever.
Which hasn't happened since 2016.
