What happened

Aliyah Boston stuffed the stat sheet as the Fever pulled out an overtime win over Atlanta, finishing with 18 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists. She added a season-high 5 steals and 3 blocks, playing 37 minutes in the extended contest.

Boston was efficient at the free-throw line, going 6-of-6, while her scoring came primarily inside as she went 6-of-16 from the field and 0-of-4 from three.

Why it matters

The line extends a strong stretch for Boston against Atlanta this weekend, closing out the season series with a two-way performance that touched every major stat category. Hitting double-digit rebounds alongside a season-high in steals shows the kind of all-around impact that has defined her recent run.

Blocking shots and generating extra possessions on the defensive end while also facilitating with 4 assists underscores Boston's growing role as a hub for Indiana at both ends of the floor.

By the numbers

18 points (6-16 FG, 0-4 3PT, 6-6 FT), 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks in 37 minutes. The 5 steals mark a season high, and the combination of double-digit points, rebounds and multiple blocks and steals reflects a complete stat-sheet performance.

What to watch next

The Fever turn to their next matchup as Boston looks to carry the stat-sheet-stuffing form forward. If she continues generating turnovers and protecting the rim at this rate, Indiana's defense stands to benefit heading into its next test.
