The last two No. 1 overall picks of the WNBA Draft are quickly becoming an unguardable pair. Fever forward Aliyah Boston and guard Caitlin Clark showed off their burgeoning chemistry in the third quarter against the Sky when Clark found Boston cutting to the basket for an easy layup with an excellent pass.
The bucket pulled the Fever within one, 54-53, and was part of an overall 24-3 Indiana run that gave it a 72-57 lead after previously trailing 54-48.
As ESPN’s Rebecca Lobo noted during the network’s broadcast, all seven of Boston’s makes through three quarters came off of Clark assists.
Through three quarters, the Fever lead, 72-64. Clark already has a career-high 13 assists.
