    The Indiana Fever are just one win away from reaching 20 on the season for the first time since 2015 after defeating the Atlanta Dream 104-100 in overtime on Sunday afternoon.

    Indiana's two No. 1 overall picks, Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston, have been leading the charge for one of the hottest teams in the league, and the win over the Dream was no different.

    Both players secured a double-double in the win. Clark finished with 26 points and 12 assists. Boston added a team-high 30 points and 13 rebounds.

    On Monday, to celebrate the All-Star duo's performance, the Fever took to social media and dropped a new nickname for the two.

    "Double-double duo," the Fever wrote on X. "Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston were dominant in last night’s OT thriller."

    The new nickname is very fitting for the duo, as Clark and Boston have both been double-double machines during the 2024 season. Clark has picked up 12 double-doubles and two triple-doubles this year, while Boston has secured 13 double-doubles.

    The two stars, along with guard Kelsey Mitchell, have led the Fever to one of the best records in the league following the Olympic break, winning eight of their ten games during that timeframe. They also helped Indiana clinch a playoff berth for the first time since 2016.

    The Fever have gotten hot at the right time with the playoffs looming. With their recent play, Indiana certainly looks like a team that could make a postseason run, but it all depends on the play of their stars.
