'Telepathy' key to Clark and Boston's record-setting chemistry
Caitlin Clark quipped her outstanding chemistry with Aliyah Boston is down to "telepathy".
Clark and Boston made WNBA history as the Indiana Fever beat the Chicago Sky 114-106 in overtime.
The duo became the first teammates to both record 30-point double-doubles in the same WNBA game.
Clark and Boston combined for a vital basket to put the Fever into a five-point lead with just over one minute left in overtime on Thursday.
"Telepathy," said Clark when asked to describe her on-court relationship with Boston.
"We're good friends, that always helps. You can be teammates and play basketball, but if you really care for each other, and love each other off the court, and that goes for our whole team, when you have that bond, and you truly get to know somebody and build a relationship with them, that helps.
"Because when you're on the court, you're gonna go through moments of adversity — that's just basketball. [Friendship] is what helps you get through, and I always know where Aliyah is. We've got a little telepathy now, so hopefully we get that going more."

Boston recorded a career-high 34 points, with Clark posting 32.
Clark also provided 10 assists, with eight of those teeing up Boston.
"The attention [Clark] gets coming off the ball screen — obviously, she can shoot and make the right pass, so they were kind of up, and then she did a great job just hitting me, and then vice versa."
Coach Stephanie White said Boston and Clark are the perfect duo for the Fever to build around.
She said: "When you have a point guard and you have a center that are special, you can build a team around that.
"Then you add in Kelsey [Mitchell]... it can make for some really special things.
"We've got growth opportunities, and there's no doubt about it, but I'm proud of this group, and those two put us on their shoulders."
