What happened: Boston delivered a block during Indiana's postseason game in Las Vegas. The stop became one of the cleaner defensive sequences from her night around the rim.

Why it matters: Indiana had recently listed Aliyah Boston probable for the Vegas series after a lower-leg issue, so a strong defensive play carried extra weight for its frontcourt outlook. In a playoff matchup, rim protection can change possessions quickly by cutting off easy looks and second chances.

What to watch: Indiana's next availability report and the rest of the Vegas series will show how much it can keep leaning on Boston inside.
