Tyrese Haliburton hasn't played with Ivica Zubac yet this summer but isn't concerned at all. “I’ve never played with a screen setter like this. I’ve never played with a roller like this. So I'm really looking forward to it, and I think it's gonna be a lot of fun.” 🔗: www.forbes.com/sites/tonyea...
Today, @ipacers.bsky.social joins me and I fight through mic issues. We break down the Pacers rotation, an exercise I thought would be simple. It led to 20 minutes of debate and change.

Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White shared a long message pregame before the Fever battled the New York Liberty.

"There was no way we were losing this game for her," Caitlin Clark says of Stephanie White. Said it made her sick to hear boos for White pregame.
Fever crush the Liberty 106-92 to improve to 21-12. Outside of the early third quarter, comfortable Fever win. They played great. Both Mitchell and Clark over 20 points again.
19-8 Fever for the rest of the quarter. One of their better responses of late after giving away their first-half edge. It's 87-67 going into the fourth quarter.
Tony East@tonyreast.bsky.social · 3d agoThe Fever lead, once 21, is down to single digits at 9. One of their biggest season-long problems.
Kelsey Mitchell misses a technical free throw, then hits a circus scooping layup after drawing a foul. Another perfectly Kelsey Mitchell sequence.

Fever don't blow their lead before halftime this time. It's 64-46 at halftime, and they are absolteuly rolling on offense. Shooting nearly 60% and keeping their turnovers down (4). Clark (18 points) and Mitchell (20) doing their thing.
In the last month, you just can't afford to stop scoring against the Fever for a few minutes.
Tony East@tonyreast.bsky.social · 3d agoFever making it look easy, up 17 with 2:42 until halftime. Ciatlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell have 32 points, nearly matching the Liberty alone.
