Aliyah Boston has been a fulcrum for the Fever this season amid all the changes.

A’ja Wilson said Aliyah Boston told her during Game 3 that she had a “special whistle.” A’ja pointed that out while nothing the free throw discrepancy between the two players and teams in Game 4

Final: Fever 90, Aces 83

A huge game from Aliyah Boston and a bounce back performance from Kelsey Mitchell helps Indiana force Game 5. The Fever are going to go down fighting.

Jacob Rude @jacobrude.bsky.social · 9d

Kelsey Mitchell gets loud MVP chants as she ices the game away at the line

Jacob Rude @jacobrude.bsky.social · 9d

Wow. Aces called a timeout they did not have. Technical foul.

Mitchell hits the FT. 85-77 Fever

Jacob Rude @jacobrude.bsky.social · 9d

She hits both. 84-77 Fever. 36.6 left

Jacob Rude @jacobrude.bsky.social · 9d

Jackie Young misses the three. Hull gets the rebound and a chance at redemption with two FTs

Well

Lexie Hull misses a pair of free throws with 44.5 left. Aces will have the ball out of a timeout with Indiana up 82-77

Jacob Rude @jacobrude.bsky.social · 9d

Shot of the season for Kelsey Mitchell, who gets a floater to fall with the foul.

Fever lead 82-75 with 1:01 remaining.

Jacob Rude @jacobrude.bsky.social · 9d

Given the circumstances and this matchup, this might be Aliyah Boston's best game ever. 24 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists and going toe-to-toe with A'ja Wilson

Jacob Rude @jacobrude.bsky.social · 9d

Aces have challenge two fouls on the rim and won both. This one takes away two FTs for Howard

Jacob Rude @jacobrude.bsky.social · 9d

What a fun fourth quarter this has been. Just back and forth action. Aces take a timeout with the Fever up 77-71 and 3:26 left

Jacob Rude @jacobrude.bsky.social · 9d

Aliyah Boston has been fantastic today. By far her best game of the series.

Jacob Rude @jacobrude.bsky.social · 9d

This looks to be a great acting job by Chelsea Gray

Jacob Rude @jacobrude.bsky.social · 9d

End of three: Fever 67, Aces 62

Another strong close to a quarter for Indiana creates some separation. Now, they head to the fourth hoping these aren't their final 10 minutes of the season.

Jacob Rude @jacobrude.bsky.social · 9d

Kelsey Mitchell's passing is so underrated. She just threw a beautiful cross court pass to the far corner for a Hull three.

Jacob Rude @jacobrude.bsky.social · 9d

Five points in the first minute for the Aces and it's a quick timeout for Stephanie White

Jacob Rude @jacobrude.bsky.social · 9d

Mitchell gets a layup, then finds Sims for a three. Fever lead 46-38 with 59.5 left in the second. Timeout Aces.

Jacob Rude @jacobrude.bsky.social · 9d

Fever on a bit of a run and the fans are up. This could be a notable moment if they finish the half strong

Jacob Rude @jacobrude.bsky.social · 9d

Aces now lead, 29-28, as the Fever have started the second quarter a bit more slowly.

Jacob Rude @jacobrude.bsky.social · 9d

Much quicker pace in this one than in Game 3, which the Fever will be happy with. Indiana leads 17-14 with 4:13 remaining.

Jacob Rude @jacobrude.bsky.social · 9d

Much more encouraging start offensively in this one for the Fever, who have 15 points less than halfway through the period.

Jacob Rude @jacobrude.bsky.social · 9d

Back in Gainbridge Fieldhouse today for potentially the final time this Fever season as they face elimination in Game 4 against the Aces.
