Another reason so many of those "advanced" metrics are absolute garbage that can't see the forest for the trees.
I watched most of that game and AR was a non-factor throughout. Carter was easily the reason Chicago dominated early and won the game.

Brutal. In her words, she’s not racist because black peoples can’t be racist.
Only upside is if CC plays an amazing game, she’ll have to call it 🤣

Stating the obvious, we need to be bright eyed and bushy tailed tonight, I was counting on the sky, losing that game to the aces. We have to win this.
Chicago had a very tough final nine or so games leading into the break. The only two games in which they were favored were the two against Atlanta. They won those two comfortably. However, they also won at Seattle and at Las Vegas, which are very good wins. The Sky will very likely be in the playoffs.
There is currently a fairly big gap between 8th place Chicago and 9th place Atlanta. As long as the Fever play decently after the break, they should make the playoffs. The Sparks and Wings are pretty much toast at this point. Atlanta has been bad since losing their star Rhyne Howard. They'll get her back after the break, but it may be too late for them. The Mystics are a pretty solid team, currently, but they got off to such a terrible start they are five games behind the Fever. Again, as long as the Fever don't go into the toilet they should be in good shape.

Yes!! They need to come out with a lot of energy. No game is a gimmie and a loss here would be rough!
Tonight's game at Dallas is definitely a must-win, given how bad the Wings' record is. However, the Fever are only favored by 3.5 pts. It's no gimme.
This game features two players -Clark and Ogunbowale - in contention for the season 3PTers made title.
WNBA leaders re: 3PT FGs Made (games)
1. Ionescu, NY (25) - 74
2. McBride, MN (24) - 72
3. Plum, LV (24) - 71
4. Ogunbowale DAL (24) - 69
4. Clark, IND (25) - 69
The leaderboard is very fluid. For instance, Ionescu made 6 threes last game (vs.CT) while #3 Plum was 0-8 vs. CHI last night.
