Aliyah Boston had herself a night in Unrivaled action on Monday, when she scored 33 points<\/a> and hauled in 16 rebounds for Phantom BC in their 76-73 win over Vinyl BC.<\/p>\n

Boston and guard Kelsey Plum combined for 63 of the Phantom’s 76 points in a dominant performance from the WNBA All-Star duo. Plum hit the game-winning shot<\/a>\u00a0— complete with a “too small” celebration — as the Phantom ensured they would be in Unrivaled’s six-team playoff when it begins next month.<\/p>\n

It isn’t the first time that Boston has played with an All-Star guard; after all, she has shared the court with one Caitlin Clark for 53 games in the WNBA. But the Fever forward revealed there’s something different about teaming up with Plum<\/a>, a two-time WNBA champion with whom she “loves” to play.<\/p>\n

“She’s pushing me in a different way,” Boston told the media in Miami on Monday night. “Definitely mentally, which is where I needed to grow the most. Being able to do that this offseason has just been a pleasure for me.”<\/p>\n

Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Plum made history, becoming the first #Unrivaled<\/a> teammates to score 30+ points in the same game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I asked Boston how their relationship has grown.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s grown from the time we became teammates. I love KP. I think she\u2019s pushing me in a different way.\u201d pic.twitter.com\/J2e7JrA8R7<\/a><\/p>\n

Boston praised Plum’s communication style and her work ethic, which Boston believes has had an impact on her and has helped the deepen their relationship.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t necessarily mean that Boston would prefer to play with Plum over Clark<\/a>; rather, the lessons learned in Unrivaled will make Boston a better WNBA player and teammate for Clark, as the two Fever stars hope to lead Indiana to a championship in the next seasons.<\/p>\n
