Aliyah Boston led the way for the Indiana Fever Thursday night defeating the Atlanta Dream 91-84 in front of another large home crowd.
She tied her all time career high in points with 27 and finished with 13 rebounds. Veteran Kelsey Mitchell added 24 points.
The Fever are coming off an embarrassing loss to the Connecticut Sun. A game where head coach Christie Sides voiced her frustration about the team’s lack of effort and even benched several starters.
Boston put the team on her back and had her best overall performance of her 2024 campaign.
“She was undeniable tonight,” said coach Sides following the game.
This Fever team has faced much adversity early in the season having played 11 games in 20 days, most of any other team in the league.
Offensively the team struggled to start the second half and had even allowed the Dream to tie it late in the fourth quarter after leading much of the game.
The Fever shot 54% from the field, Atlanta just over 42%.
Boston is quickly staking her rights to a second consecutive All Star game and it comes on the same day that voting for this year’s game opened to fans.
Indiana has won 3 of their last 5 games and hopes to keep the momentum going Sunday as the Chicago Sky return to Gainbridge Fieldhouse for a 12:00 p.m. matinee on CBS.
