Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston Shine in Fever's Overtime Victory Against Sky
INDIANAPOLIS — In a thrilling matchup on Thursday, the Indiana Fever edged out the Chicago Sky 114-106 in overtime, showcasing the incredible talents of Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston. With the Sky's Skylar Diggins tying the game with a 3-pointer just before the buzzer, the Fever relied on their star duo to secure the win, marking a historic achievement in the process.
Caitlin Clark, leading the Fever, delivered an outstanding performance with a season-high 32 points, along with 10 assists and seven rebounds. This game marked the third time in her career that she has scored at least 30 points and dished out 10 assists in a single match, a feat unmatched by any other player in WNBA history. She now ranks third in franchise history for 30-point games, trailing only teammate Kelsey Mitchell and Hall of Famer Tamika Catchings.
Aliyah Boston also made a significant impact, notching a personal best of 34 points, complemented by 12 rebounds and two blocks. With this performance, Boston has achieved at least 30 points and 10 rebounds in two games, placing her second in franchise history for such outings, just behind Catchings.
During overtime, the dynamic pair contributed 12 of the Fever's 16 points, helping Indiana secure its second consecutive victory. Despite a challenging game where they relinquished a 19-point lead in the second quarter, the Fever improved their season record to 7-5. Meanwhile, the Sky, who have lost three straight games, fell to 4-9, continuing a rough stretch that has seen them win just once in their last nine outings.
Sydney Taylor, a rookie guard for the Sky, shone brightly with a career-high 30 points off the bench, including a remarkable 16 points in the third quarter. Previously averaging just 7.4 points per game, Taylor's performance was a standout, as she hit four 3-pointers and connected on 10 of her 14 attempts in 20 minutes of play.
Diggins, a seven-time All-Star, contributed 21 points, including key scores in the fourth quarter to help force overtime. However, she struggled in the extra period, failing to convert on three attempts as the Sky managed only one field goal during that time.
