Wilson also recorded nine rebounds, three assists and four steals. Her co-star, Jackie Young, added 18 points, five rebounds and nine assists on 60% shooting from the field.

Throughout the series, Wilson has been physically battling against Fever star Aliyah Boston. Even off the court, the two have been dishing it against each other. During one of Indiana's team practices, Boston spoke to the media regarding the physicality and implied that the seven-time All-Star is usually favored when it comes to certain foul calls.

After Game 4, this was brought up to Wilson by the media. The four-time MVP clapped back at Boston regarding the criticism about her getting some fouls. She also revealed that the three-time All-Star told her in Game 3 that she has a "special whistle."

"But Aliyah did say I had a special whistle when she shot 13 today," Wilson said.
"Yeah. She said it last game, I had a special whistle. Which is cool. So you just gotta play better defense, make her looks a little difficult, and kind of go from there."
