Sophie Cunningham and Lexie Hull pay tribute to teammate Aliyah Boston, who just hit another gear. The Fever center notched her sixth straight double-double on Sunday, dropping 16 points, 12 boards, and a little bit of everything else—two assists, three steals, and a block—in a gritty 78–74 win over the Seattle Storm.
That makes it the longest double-double streak in Fever history, and Boston made sure to mark the moment on Instagram, simply captioning it:
“The Fev show>>>>”
Her teammates wasted no time in hyping her up.
“Mami,” Sophie Cunningham chimed in.
“Doing all the hard things!!!” added Lexie Hull.
Even rookie Makayla Timpson got in on the love: “Yes babes.”
Boston’s been a steady force through the Fever’s five-game win streak, stepping up huge in Caitlin Clark’s absence. On Sunday, she went 7-of-11 from the floor and once again proved why she’s more than just a stats machine—she’s the emotional anchor of the squad.

Stephanie White couldn’t help but shower Aliyah Boston and other Fever teammates with praise and love following their win over the Seattle Storm on Sunday.
“Yeah, I mean AB’s been huge for us. She has really been the key,” White told reporters. “She’s just continued to step up to the challenge and grow, and be better. You know, she is really the rock of our team.”
With Caitlin Clark sidelined for 16 games this year, Boston’s reliability has been crucial. She’s averaging a career-best 15.5 points on 54.7% shooting, while also dishing out a personal-high 3.8 assists per game and grabbing 8.3 rebounds a night.
The Fever face the Sparks next—and with Boston playing like this, “The Fev Show” isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
