Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark made history Thursday night, becoming the first teammates in WNBA history to record 30-point double-doubles in the same game. Boston finished with 34 points and 12 rebounds while Clark added 32 points and 10 assists, leading the Indiana Fever to a 114-106 overtime victory over the Chicago Sky.

The historic pairing propelled Indiana (7-5) to a crucial win. Clark's 30-point, 10-assist performance marked her third career game with that combination, setting a new WNBA record. Boston secured her second 30-point double-double of the season. The Fever dominated early, building a 19-point first-half lead before weathering a late Sky surge.

Indiana's free throw precision proved decisive. The Fever converted their first 23 foul shots before Clark made all 15 of her attempts. Chicago tied the game at 98 with 5.1 seconds left in regulation on Skylar Diggins' three-pointer, but Indiana pulled away in overtime. Sydney Taylor led Chicago with 30 points and 21 rebounds.

This milestone performance by Boston and Clark establishes a new standard for elite WNBA teamwork. Their combined 66 points and 22 rebounds-plus-assists demonstrate how star power can carry Indiana deep into the playoffs.
