Coach Stephanie White Sends Clear Message to Fever After Ninth Loss
Coach Stephanie White Sends Clear Message to Fever After Ninth Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Fever lost for the first time in four games on Saturday night. The Los Angeles Sparks came to Gainbridge Fieldhouse with a singular mission in mind: to secure a statement win against Indiana on their home floor. Advertisement That's precisely what the Sparks did behind Azura Stevens' 21-point, 12-rebound double-double, as the 6-foot-6 forward-center led L.A. to a hard-fought 89-87 victory. It was a disappointing loss for the Fever, who have fallen to 9-9 this season. They are in the midst of a brutal stretch and Saturday's contest was their ninth game in 19 days. They are set to play five more in the span of eight days, starting with a home matchup against the Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday. In her postgame press conference, head coach Stephanie White acknowledged the demanding schedule her team has faced. However, the veteran shot-caller also said that she believes her team is very much capable of battling through fatigue and adversity. "This is a group that's pretty locked in in terms of their energy, their effort, understanding what we're trying to do," White said. "But it takes another gear sometimes. ... If there's some physical tiredness, we have to combat that with mental sharpness. Advertisement "... That's a skill that we have to practice. We have to exercise it. We've got to continue to get better and grow in it." Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White watches on during a Johnson-Imagn Images White is rallying her troops here as they head into another tough stretch. She wants her players to lock in and be ready for what's to come, which is going to be even more challenging if Caitlin Clark continues to sit out. The reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year has missed the last five contests due to a lingering groin injury, and the Fever have yet to confirm when Clark will return. Indiana deserves a lot of credit for holding down the fort without their best player available, which is something they might need to continue doing in their upcoming games.

Angel Reese Makes WNBA History Against Minnesota Lynx
Angel Reese Makes WNBA History Against Minnesota Lynx originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Still missing starting center Kamilla Cardoso, who is with the Brazil national team, Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky eyed a second straight win after a full week of no action. Advertisement On Sunday night, Reese and the Sky continued a four-game road trip, facing Napheesa Collier and the Minnesota Lynx. Coming into the night, Reese had totaled 647 rebounds through 50 games in her two-year WNBA career. With 8:24 remaining in the second quarter, she grabbed a rebound off a missed free throw by Jessica Shepard. It was her third board of the game and the 650th of her career. In doing so, Reese now becomes the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 650 career rebounds, accomplishing this in only 51 games. Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 650 points and 650 Gonzales-Imagn Images The previous record holder belonged to Connecticut Sun center Tina Charles. The ex-UConn forward accomplished this back in 2011 during her first stint with the Sun, achieving 650 rebounds in 58 games. It may be important to note that Charles is also the WNBA's all-time leader in rebounds. Advertisement Not only did Reese break the rebounding record, but by entering Sunday's game with 661 points, she also became the fastest player to reach both 650 points and 650 rebounds, surpassing another mark previously held by Charles, who also achieved this in 58 games. It seems Reese has broken some sort of record in every game she has played since joining the WNBA last year. Her biggest may have been breaking the single-season rebounding record in her rookie year. But an injury allowed Las Vegas Aces forward A'ja Wilson to steal the record for herself. Following the Lynx game, the Sky will be back in action on Tuesday, facing the Washington Mystics in the final game of the road trip.
