Indiana Fever forward Aliyah Boston

Aliyah Boston once again contributed solidly for the Indiana Fever on Friday. They defeated the Dallas Wings 98-87 at home and secured their straight win. While she, Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell spearheaded the team’s attack, they also received strong numbers from Tyasha Harris.

Clark finished with 29 points, three rebounds and 10 assists, while Kelsey Mitchell supplied 23 points. Boston supported her fellow All-Stars with 16 points and 10 rebounds. Harris, on the other hand, played arguably her best game of the season. She recorded 15 points on 5-of-5 shooting from beyond the arc.

Meanwhile, Paige Bueckers led the Wings with 29 points, six rebounds, and six assists. Arike Ogunbowale chipped in with 20 points and six assists, but it wasn’t enough for a victory. Dallas played without Jessica Shepard and Azzi Fudd, who are dealing with ankle and knee issues, respectively.

Aliyah Boston praises Tyasha Harris’ strong performance

Boston singled out Harris for providing the spark Indiana needed in the fourth quarter. She also praised the veteran guard for showing a lot of confidence in her shots.

“I mean, that was the biggest spark right there,” Boston said. “Going into the fourth, I don’t know, were we down three? And Ty came out and just took her shots with confidence. She was hooping tonight.”

Harris bounced back strong after scoring just one point total in her previous three games. Her big game came at a crucial time as the team prepares for a four-game road trip starting on Sunday versus the Atlanta Dream. If she can sustain her impressive shooting, the 28-year-old could carve out a bigger role during the playoff push. The Fever currently hold a 21-12 record and sit fourth in the standings. They aim for a higher seed for the postseason to place themselves in the best position to contend for the title.
