Aliyah Boston stopped Caitlin Clark from criticizing herself in a supportive Fever postgame moment
You want to talk about Aliyah Boston’s leadership on the Indiana Fever, especially when it comes to Caitlin Clark?
Here you go.
After the Indiana Fever took down the Washington Mystics on Wednesday, Clark started talking about some passes that didn’t connect. She started saying that she should slow down … but then her teammate Boston interrupted and said, “It’s alright, don’t worry.”
“We’re not going to let her hang her head … off any missed passes,” she added, “because we’re still continuing to gel together and we know that she’s a great passer. So if she thinks she can get that ball there, she’s going to throw it. And if I miss it, then we’re good!”
Perfect and so supportive of the rookie.
A great moment between Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston in tonight's postgame as Clark was asked about smoothing out off-target passes.

Boston added this:
Aliyah Boston on her growing on-court chemistry with Caitlin Clark:
"Caitlin with the ball in her hands, she talks to me a lot & she tells me 'do this' or 'do that.' So I'm just trying to make sure I get to those spots b/c I know she can hit me."@GamecockWBB | @IndianaFever pic.twitter.com/x2ypJP52bF

No wonder things are getting better for the Fever as of late.
