Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston are starting to form the connection many expected when they first teamed up for the Indiana Fever. The pair have become an effective combination of late, with Boston singling out Clark's passing ability as a big reason why.

Aliyah even credited Caitlin's capabilities as a floor orchestrator in the most recent post-game press conference citing the growing communication between the two

"Caitlin with the ball in her hands, she talks to me a lot and she tells me 'do this' or 'do that.' So I'm just trying to make sure I get to those spots because I know she can hit me."

Boston also defended Clark's mistakes stating that she trusts what her teammate sees out on the court and that she is trying to make the correct plays.

A great moment between Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston in tonight's postgame as Clark was asked about smoothing out off-target passes.

Clark is now averaging 16.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 6.2 assists on the season. While Boston has shaken off some early struggles and was recently named WNBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week. The duo has been joined by guard Kelsey Mitchell who added 22 points against the Washington Mystics.

It seems the Fever have put the worst behind them as the team has now won three games in a row and is on a four game winning streak at home. The latter being the most they have won consecutively since 2015.

Indiana currently holds a playoff spot and is showing vast improvement, in large part due to the bond forming on the court between Clark and Boston.
