Fever Surge Past Storm, Led by Boston's Career Night

The Indiana Fever secured a 94-86 victory over the Seattle Storm on Tuesday night, fueled by a career-high performance from Aliyah Boston. Boston dominated the court, scoring 31 points, marking her first 30-point game in regulation since joining the WNBA as the top overall pick in 2023. Her impressive shooting accuracy, hitting 13 of 18 shots, and eight rebounds significantly contributed to the Fever's win.

Kelsey Mitchell also had a strong showing, contributing a season-high 26 points, including five three-pointers. Lexie Hull matched her season high with 15 points and grabbed a season-high 11 rebounds. Despite a relatively quiet night from Caitlin Clark, who was held to six points but managed nine assists in her fifth game back from a quad injury, the Fever managed to maintain a strong offensive presence.

The Storm, despite a valiant effort, were unable to secure their fourth consecutive win. Skylar Diggins scored 22 points, and Erica Wheeler added 14 of her 20 points in the fourth quarter. However, the Storm struggled with turnovers, committing 17 throughout the game. Nneka Ogwumike, who had been on a scoring streak, was held to 16 points.

The Fever took control in the third quarter, building an 11-point lead early on. Mitchell's consecutive three-point plays further extended the lead, allowing Indiana to enter the fourth quarter with a comfortable advantage. Although Seattle attempted a late comeback, the Fever, led by Boston's consistent scoring, managed to maintain their lead and secure the victory.

BNN's Perspective: The Indiana Fever's victory highlights the importance of balanced team performance and individual brilliance. While the focus on Caitlin Clark is understandable, the contributions of players like Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell demonstrate the depth and potential of the Fever roster. This win is a positive step for the team as they continue to develop and compete in the WNBA.
