A WNBA analyst claimed that Aliyah Boston needed more touches in Game 2 against the Las Vegas Aces to give the Indiana Fever a chance to win the matchup.

The Las Vegas Aces thrashed the Indiana Fever in Game 2, winning the match by 22 points to level the series. The Fever couldn’t win a single quarter in the game, with A’ja Wilson once again showcasing her MVP form. According to a WNBA analyst, the star of the opening match, Aliyah Boston, was ineffective in Game 2, which led to the Fever’s loss.

“What I would say is I was rather disappointed in the way that they used Aaliyah Boston. They need to get that ball to her more. Aaliyah is a key player on that team. Aaliyah Boston is a phenomenal player, one of the best in the league, an all-star. I mean, the list goes on and on for her. And she needs to be more effective. They need to make sure that she’s more effective because it wasn’t for, you know, she just didn’t have as many opportunities as she should have in that game,” Jay said.
