Aliyah Boston filled the stat sheet in the Indiana Fever's statement win over the Las Vegas Aces on Sunday, but one dazzling play had fans talking long after the final buzzer.

With Caitlin Clark sidelined by a back injury, Boston helped lead Indiana on both ends of the floor, finishing with a dominant double-double. Yet it wasn't one of her made 3-pointers or key rebounds that stole the spotlight.

Instead, it was a silky spin move, made even better by the Fever's slow-motion replay—that quickly became one of the game's biggest viral moments.

Fever's slow-mo replay made Aliyah Boston's move even better

The highlight came during the second quarter. Boston caught the ball in the post with Aces forward Brianna Turner defending her. She initially leaned left before spinning back the opposite direction, leaving Turner off balance as Boston calmly finished with a smooth hook shot.

The Fever knew they had a highlight.

Soon after, Indiana shared the play on social media with a slow-motion replay and a simple caption:

"AB spin move 🌪️."

The replay perfectly captured Boston's footwork and balance, making the move look even more impressive than it did in real time.

Fever fans all seemed to agree

It didn't take long for the comments section to fill up with praise.

The reactions all carried the same theme, Boston's footwork was nearly impossible to defend.

It was one of those moments where you knew the final score was going to end up in Indiana's favor, which it did.

Boston delivers another star performance

The viral highlight was just one part of another outstanding performance from the Fever's All-Star center. Boston finished with 18 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks while knocking down three of her four attempts from beyond the arc. Kelsey Mitchell added 27 points as Indiana picked up an impressive road win over one of the WNBA's top contenders.

Without Clark in the lineup, Boston once again showed she can anchor the Fever on both ends of the floor. And if Sunday's performance wasn't enough to impress fans, one smooth spin move, and the slow-motion replay that followed, certainly was.
