Indiana fever forward Aliyah Boston has been paying as much attention on the court as he scores.
After a tense moment in Saturday’s game against Chicago Sky, Boston found himself pioneering his reactions over a feud with teammate Caitlin Clark and Sky forward Angel Reese.
The virus moment began with Clark working on a foul in the third quarter of the game. Reese was obviously unhappy and seemed to follow Clark. But before things get out of control, Boston stepped in between, trying to keep calm. Her quick thinking helped ease the tension, but surprisingly: a technical foul.
"I don't know," Boston smiled in a candid interview, sharing on X. "It's fun to see my reaction because I really don't know, but that's OK. It's something I think, 'Okay, OK, I'll see it for a while.' People are taking screenshots, and I was thinking, yes."

Boston didn't learn until after the game that she had encountered a technical foul.
In a video shared by fever journalist Scott Agness, her reaction was advanced by the camera when someone mentioned it in a press conference: "Wait, what? AB got the technology? Oh, no!"
Both Boston and Reese were evaluated as technical fouls, while Clark received a blatant foul for the foul. According to WNBA rules, players were fined $200 in the first three technical fouls they received.
Clark admired Boston's involvement, joked during the press: "I guess I'm grateful for AB back-to-back. I don't even know what she did...what benefits she paid.
Aliyah Boston didn't know he had committed a technical foul in front of Angel Reese.

"Wait, what? Does AB have any technology? Oh, no!"
*Then turn to Caitlin "Can I get half of it?"

While the fine may be small for Boston’s WNBA salary, Clark promises to cover it up as a small but meaningful sign of the duo’s growing bond on the fever lineup.
Boston's expressiveness and real confusion about technical fouls quickly attracted a warm welcome online, with fans sharing memes and GIFs of her now famous reaction.
Boston and Fever will play Atlanta Dream on Tuesday, and fans are now watching not only their performance but their reactions.
