Kelsey Plum and Aliyah Boston dominate entire season to help Phantom BC reach postseason
The Phantom BC have pulled off one of the biggest turnarounds in Unrivaled this season after finishing dead last in the standings a year ago. A reshuffling of teams worked perfectly in their favor, and this year’s roster looks completely different, led by the dynamic duo of Kelsey Plum and Aliyah Boston.
Plum has been the primary offensive option, putting up 22.4 points per game while dishing out 5.5 assists and grabbing 5.4 rebounds.
Boston has been just as impactful, averaging 19.9 points per game while anchoring the defense. She is pulling down 10.1 rebounds a night and adding 2.0 blocks and 1.2 steals.
Due to their dominance, Phantom BC have already doubled last season’s win total, jumping from four wins to eight with three more regular-season games remaining, and have become only the second team to clinch a playoff spot.
