Aliyah Boston Leads Indiana Fever to Brink of WNBA Finals

As of October 1st, 2025, the Indiana Fever are one win away from reaching the WNBA Finals. The team's success has been largely credited to the outstanding performance of Aliyah Boston, who has been tasked with the challenge of slowing down four-time WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson.

During the Fever's semifinal series against the Las Vegas Aces, Boston has risen to the occasion, finishing Game 4 with 24 points, 14 rebounds, five assists, two steals, and two blocks. Her teammate, Lexie Hull, praised Boston's impact on both ends of the floor, stating that the Fever "wouldn't have won last night's game, any of our games without her."

Wilson, who had 31 points, nine rebounds, three assists, four steals, and three blocks in the Aces' 90-83 loss, was critical of the officiating after the game. However, Boston's ability to defend her effectively has been a crucial factor in the series.

The Fever will now head to Las Vegas for a decisive Game 5 on Tuesday, with the winner advancing to face the Phoenix Mercury in the 2025 WNBA Finals. Both Boston and Wilson are former South Carolina Gamecocks, having led their alma mater to a national title under coach Dawn Staley.
