The Indiana Fever are on the brink of elimination from the WNBA playoffs. It will be up to Tamika Catchings to yank them back.

Indiana opened the Eastern Conference Finals Wednesday night in Detroit with a thud, falling to the Shock 72-56 after losing an 11-point lead.

Catchings, who had scored a combined 50 points in the Fever's first-two playoffs games finished with nine.

And while Indiana is much less "The Tamika Catchings Show" than it used to be, she is still the engine.

"Over the years, a lot of people have come at me and said, 'You need to step up', and I've always tried to do that," Catchings said Tuesday.
