Aliyah Boston outplayed Napheesa Collier in Commissioner's Cup Final

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.
