Caitlin Clark thoroughly enjoyed Aliyah Boston's dominant play against Angel Reese's $145,000 teammate, Kia Nurse, during Saturday's game between the Fever and Sky. Clark, watching from the sidelines while recovering from a groin injury, hysterically laughed after her 220 lbs co-star buried Nurse.

Boston got the post entry off pick-and-roll action with Kelsey Mitchell and went straight into Nurse's chest with her left elbow, optimizing her size advantage against the 6-foot guard.

While showing the replays, the CBS broadcast cut to Clark's reaction, which went viral online, garnering up to 30,000 impressions on one of the posts by X user Shabazz. Here's the clip:

That move was pretty much also the story of the game. The Fever won 92-70 in front of their home crowd, improving to 4-0 on the season against the Sky. Aliyah Boston had 15 points, four rebounds, three assists and two blocks, shooting 7 of 11. It was a crucial bounce-back game for her following Thursday's no-show against the Mercury in which she scored only four points.

It was also a solid morale booster for the Fever, who were coming off two huge losses and saw Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald go down with season-ending injuries on Friday.

Fans join Caitlin Clark in reacting to Aliyah Boston's highlight on Kia Nurse

Aliyah Boston drew plaudits all across the Indiana Fever Twitter for her strong post move against Kia Nurse, similar to how Caitlin Clark celebrated it. Some even called out Nurse for flopping.

However, non-Fever fans had opposite takes. Many believed it was an overboard physical play and Boston got away with an offensive foul. Here are the reactions:

Two points wouldn't have made much of a difference in the eventual outcome of the night. The Fever were way ahead of the Sky for most of the game and the final scoreline reflected it.

For Boston, it wasn't the only highlight of the game. She also finished the night by rising up to third spot in the Fever's franchise rankings for most blocks all-time.
