The Indiana Fever won in dominant fashion over the Minnesota Lynx in the Commissioner's Cup final on Tuesday evening, defeating them by a final score of 74-59. For a team that's averaging 85.3 points per game on the year, the Lynx didn't look like they could get anything going on offense against the Fever's smothering defense.
Much of that had to do with the work done by Aliyah Boston and Natasha Howard in the post against the Lynx's talented wings and Napheesa Collier, all of which were held to fairly low scoring. Boston and Howard have been waiting for when their chemistry would really begin to shine this season, and they found that connection at the best time possible on the defensive side of the ball in the Cup final.
Boston was interviewed after the victory by Amazon Prime's WNBA crew, discussing the team's resilience against a top seeded team like the Lynx and as they were without a key player in Clark for the contest. Of course, Clark couldn't let the opportunity slip by her to insert herself into the interview to celebrate her fellow All-Star starter.
Boston's signature "Bow, bow, bow!" celebration has clearly become a key part to this locker room's positivity after wins, and Clark was heavily inspired by it.

Clark and Boston are headed to the All-Star game together as starers, which is a huge testament to how the duo have grown in the two years they've played together as first overall picks looking to find a role with a high-expectation team. They play amazingly on the court together, and Boston has been superb with Clark out with injury for most of the season.

It's hard to imagine how Clark is going to not want to pick Boston to be on her team when she decides who will make up Team Clark ahead of the All-Star game. She and Napheesa Collier will most definitely have an awkward situation going if Collier, after getting into it a bit during the Cup game with Boston, selects her as one of her front court starters.
The chemistry between the two players is just undeniable. Even without her playing, Clark's presence for the Fever was a great one, and it was great that she was able to travel with the team and celebrate with Boston and the rest of the squad regardless of her health.
