She finished with season-high points (e.g. 18+ depending on the real stats), shot efficiently from beyond the arc, and gave Indiana a spark during key stretches when momentum started to swing.

Caitlin Clark Keeps Composing, Not Just Scoring

While all eyes are always on Caitlin Clark, this win showed how she’s growing into her role as a floor general. She didn’t force shots, played smart, and kept everyone involved. Her ability to read the defense and set up players like Sophie and Boston made the offense flow beautifully.

Clark ended the night with another solid stat line, racking up double-digit assists and showing that she doesn’t need 30 points to dominate a game.

Aliyah Boston: Quiet but Powerful

Aliyah Boston did what she does best—anchor the team inside. Her presence in the paint helped neutralize Washington’s attempts to attack the rim, and her efficient scoring and rebounding were key to holding the Fever’s lead.

“We’re building chemistry,” Boston said postgame. “Wins like this prove it’s working.”
