    Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston have formed one of the best duos in the WNBA. The Indiana Fever stars recently interacted on social media after Boston posted a few photos on Instagram.

    Boston shared some action shots from the Fever's recent matchup against the Atlanta Dream, where Indiana secured a 104-100 victory in overtime.

    The 6-foot-5 forward posted the pictures with the caption, "Bow bow bow."

    Clark then responded to the post, sharing her nickname for Boston.

    "Keep eating queen," Clark said.

    The rookie hailed Boston as the "queen," after the talented forward had a season-high 30 points against Atlanta while adding 13 rebounds to round out a massive double-double.

    Aliyah Boston has averaged 14.3 points and 9.1 rebounds per game this season. She's gradually improved throughout the year after struggling in the efficiency category in the early months.

    In her last three games, Boston has averaged 24.6 points and 10.6 rebounds.

    The "queen" has now done this at an efficient level, shooting over 60% in each of the last three games.

    Boston has also made a massive impact on the defensive end, averaging 0.9 steals and 1.3 blocks per game this season.

    Clark has been a major factor in Boston's success this season. The 22-year-old star has led the WNBA in average assists, posting 8.5 assists per game.

    Just like Boston, the rookie has also made an impact on the defensive end. Clark is currently averaging 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks per game.

    The Rookie of the Year frontrunner hasn't just been able to open up the floor for her teammates to be successful. She's been a tremendous player in terms of scoring, averaging 19.2 points per game, which leads the rookie class.
