00:05And not just because it was a Sunday night showcase.
00:08Nafisa Kalia was back.
00:10Seven games away had done nothing to dull her edge.
00:13From a moment she stepped onto the floor,
00:15there was a sense that Minnesota's heartbeat had returned.
00:18Indiana, meanwhile, came in with their own urgency.
00:21Two nights earlier in Indianapolis, they'd let one slip.
00:25A third-quarter collapse, turning a winnable game into a 95-90 loss.
00:30Now, still, without Kaitlin Clark for the 15th straight game
00:33and missing Sophie Cunningham for the season,
00:35they were staring down the same opponent, this time on the road.
00:39Kelsey Mitchell was ready to lead again.
00:41With Natasha Howard, Aaliyah Boston, and hardship signees,
00:45she petty and aerial powers tasked with filling the gaps.
