AB kind of buster with all her dirty tactics and then acting put out when she gets called on it. Becoming more and more frequent. Phee as solid as they come, if she has beef it’s legit.

I thought you all said A’ja was overreacting when she complained about AB’s dirty play, or was it because of AB?

Aliyah Boston outplayed Napheesa Collier in Commissioner's Cup Final

Aliyah Boston and Napheesa Collier both struggled with their shooting during the Commissioner's Cup Final, missing far more shots than they made. Boston opened the game with six consecutive misses, enduring a rough start, but eventually outperformed MVP frontrunner Collier with a dominant all-around performance.

The Indiana Fever center made her presence felt on both ends of the floor, controlling the glass and setting the tone with her physicality. Boston stuffed the stat sheet, finishing with 16 points, 11 rebounds, six assists, two steals and a block while shooting 5-for-15.

Collier, meanwhile, had one of her worst games of the season, and it came at the most inopportune moment. The Lynx star finished with 12 points on just 6-for-18 shooting, including 0-for-2 from deep. While she contributed nine rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks, it wasn’t enough to keep Minnesota in the game.
