Aliyah Boston's Emotional Outburst During Competition Against Caitlin Clark, Fever Teammates is Turning Heads
Indiana Fever forward Aliyah Boston seems to have finally found her groove.
The 2023 WNBA Rookie of the Year started the 2024 regular season off sluggishly. Then Boston scored a career-high 27 points and added 13 rebounds in the Fever's 91-84 win over the Atlanta Dream earlier this week, which makes it seem like Boston is back to her usual form.
Considering how much of a competitor Boston is, her tough start to the season had to be weighing on her; especially considering the pressure that comes with playing alongside Caitlin Clark.
But Boston seems to have released some of that frustration during Indiana's Saturday practice.

The Fever ended Saturday's practice with a half-court shooting competition between all the Fever players.
And Boston sunk her shot; which not only won her bragging rights, but also $100.
Boston was visibly overcome with positive emotion after draining the shot.
And Clark (who Boston was competing against) was not one of the teammates who congratulated Boston for her make.
Although Clark is surely hoping that Boston can keep that hot hand going against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky on Sunday.
