The Indiana Fever are one win away from the WNBA Finals, and Lexie Hull credits their success to Aliyah Boston. Hull praised her $233,468 teammate for her presence on both sides of the ball. Boston has been tasked with slowing down A'ja Wilson, who has had two rough shooting nights in their semifinal series.

Speaking to reporters during Monday's practice, Hull was asked about Boston's impact on the Fever's postseason run. The Stanford product felt proud of what her teammate brought to the table in a very important series.

"I mean, she's a force in the paint," Hull said. "We wouldn't have won last night's game, any of our games without her. So, proud of her ability to be consistent and continuing to impact the game, not only offensively, but her ability to impact A'ja's game defensively has been huge for us this series."

A'ja Wilson fires back at Aliyah Boston after Aces-Fever Game 4

After their Game 4 loss, A'ja Wilson was critical of the officiating due to the number of fouls called on the Las Vegas Aces. Wilson also fired back at Aliyah Boston's comments regarding her "special whistle," even though the Indiana Fever star had 13 free throws on Sunday.

"Aliyah did say I have a special whistle, and she shot 13 today," Wilson said, according to the Basketball Network. "She said that in the last game, I have a special whistle, which is cool. So we just have to play better defense, make her looks a little difficult, and go from there."

Wilson and Boston are both products of the South Carolina Gamecocks. They also led the Gamecocks to a national title during their respective times there under coach Dawn Staley.
