Aliyah Boston and the Indiana Fever looked to go into the WNBA All-Star break with their longest winning streak of the season.
On Tuesday, the Fever began a back-to-back, facing Tina Charles and the Connecticut Sun at TD Garden in Boston.
Boston is having arguably the best season of her three-year WNBA career. Averaging a career-high 16.2 points on 58.3% shooting, 7.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists (prior to Tuesday), Boston was also named to her third All-Star game, becoming a starter for the first time.
And against the Sun, Boston was quick to show off her playmaking skills.
With just over six minutes left in the second quarter, Caitlin Clark received a pass beyond the arc from Boston, who then set a screen for the point guard. As Clark was doubled, she passed to Boston at the top of the 3-point line, before the former South Carolina star zipped a pass to a wide-open Natasha Howard, who made an easy layup. This increased Indiana's lead to 37-30.
Even the commentators on ESPN were impressed by Boston's assist, calling it a "blaze of a pass."
The Fever reacted to the play by sharing multiple different angles of Boston's pass on social media.
"'That was a blaze of a pass!'" the Indiana Fever wrote on X. "Every angle of Aliyah Boston's bullet pass to a wide-open Natasha Howard under the basket is tonight's 360 degree play presented by Sequel "
