On Sunday, Indiana Fever’s social media team uploaded a highlight reel celebrating Aliyah Boston’s defensive prowess, highlighting her status as the leader of the Unrivaled team with an average of 2.0 blocks per game. The post featured clips showcasing Boston’s blocks in her WNBA career with the Fever. However, the video format sparked criticism due to a distorted vertical stretch that significantly lowered the viewing quality.
Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston responded sharply in the comments section, expressing their frustration with the poor video editing.
“Respectfully how am I supposed to watch this,” Clark wrote. She then added, “Now I have a migraine.”
Boston replied, saying the clip “gave me the biggest headache.”
Aliyah Boston Reflects on Her On-Court Relationship With Caitlin Clark
In a candid discussion during a January episode of her Post Moves podcast co-hosted with WNBA legend Candace Parker, Aliyah Boston shared insights into her dynamic with Caitlin Clark, describing their competitive yet communicative style of play as their “favorite form of basketball.”
Boston also reminisced about a memorable moment with Clark in a birthday tribute posted last month, showing the pair locked in an intense moment during a game against the Atlanta Dream.
“This is, like, us. This is us in our favorite form of basketball. So she must have been telling me something she saw on the court,” Boston said. “And I’m just looking at her, probably trying to say, like, ‘Girl, I’m hearing you, but do you see the way I’m playing?’ That was probably the next words out of my mouth, to which she probably responded and was like, ‘It’s fine. You’re good, AB. You’re good, AB.’ … This is us all the time on the basketball court.”
Recent Playoff Challenges and Team Performance
The Fever recently faced tough competition in the playoffs, starting with a series against the No. 3 seed Atlanta Dream.

This win propelled them into a matchup against the Las Vegas Aces, the eventual champions of the 2025 season.
Indiana pushed the Aces to the edge, forcing a critical Game 5. However, the Fever fell short in overtime, losing 107-98 after key setbacks, including an injury to All-Star guard Kelsey Mitchell in the third quarter and Boston fouling out in the final minutes of regulation.
