Lexie Hull featured in all three games for the Indiana Fever in their first-round series. She made a huge impact with her defense and momentum-shifting plays on offense. From knocking down a buzzer-beating 3-pointer in Game 2 to making a layup in the final minute of Game 3 and securing the game-winning steal, Hull was simply sensational.

The former Stanford forward averaged 8.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists across the three games against the Dream. She shot 30.8% from the floor, including 25.0% from beyond the arc.

Aliyah Boston does heavy lifting in Caitlin Clark's absence

One of the main reasons the Indiana Fever reached the playoffs, and are now in the semifinals even with Caitlin Clark injured, has been the stellar play of Aliyah Boston. The star center carried a huge burden and, even under the bright lights of the playoffs, continued to shine.

In the first-round series, the former South Carolina standout nearly averaged a double-double. Across three games, she posted 12.3 points, 9.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists on 50% shooting, including 20% from beyond the arc. Boston also scored the go-ahead basket in Game 3 after the Fever trailed by a point in the final minute.
