Aliyah Boston Fires Off Clear 2-Word Message to A’ja Wilson in WNBA Semifinals

As Game 1 of the semifinals between the Indiana Fever and Las Vegas Aces ended, there was a strange feel to the scoreline. Never mind that the Indiana Fever won the game despite of all the odds against them. What’s strange is that A’ja Wilson was held to just 27% shooting for just 16 points. Naturally, after the game, Aliyah Boston (who held her to 2-11 when defending) was asked about her game plan for this. Her reply was so simple yet so insightful. “Honestly, tryne kinda be annoying a little bit.” 

Now, in the midst of ongoing Game 4, Aliyah Boston is trying to make sure that she is able to replicate her Game 1 performance against one of the best in the league.
