Unrivaled’s championship game wrapped up Monday night with Rose BC taking down Vinyl BC 54-62 to become the inaugural league champions. The Fever faithful had mixed emotions going into the game, knowing that their own Lexie Hull was suiting up for Rose BC while fellow Fever star Aliyah Boston was with Vinyl BC. Either way, someone was going to walk away disappointed. But Clark wasn’t just a passive observer — and her postgame reaction sparked plenty of discussion.
Under an Instagram post from the Indiana Fever celebrating Hull and Team Rose’s championship win, although Clark did acknowledge Hull’s triumph. Her focus was on Boston, who had just fallen short. Clark commented, “You didn’t deserve this. I’m sorry.” Boston, clearly appreciative, replied with, “Thanks pookie, I really needed this pickup message from you.” While it was a heartfelt exchange between teammates, it was also telling.
Clark’s blunt approach wasn’t entirely unexpected. Earlier in the day, before the championship even tipped off, Clark hinted at how she viewed the situation. When the Fever posted about the upcoming matchup featuring two of their stars, Clark commented, “One of them bouta come back angry and one happy uh oh.” That remark already set the tone— and her postgame comment only reinforced it.
Boston’s performance in the championship was solid despite the loss. She scored 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting, grabbed four rebounds, and turned the ball over twice in just nine minutes of play. However, Vinyl BC struggled overall, shooting just 35.2% from the field and 22.2% from three-point range. Rhyne Howard led Vinyl with 22 points, but the rest of the squad couldn’t match Rose BC’s balanced attack.
On the flip side, Hull’s night was quiet — almost too quiet. She logged just four minutes, didn’t take a single shot, and finished with zero points. However, her one highlight came early in the second quarter when her assist to Brittney Sykes broke a 19-19 tie and put Rose BC ahead for good.
Instead, it was Azurá Stevens who dominated, finishing with a monster double-double of 19 points and 18 rebounds. Brittney Sykes added 21 points, and Chelsea Gray chipped in 18 with eight assists to help Rose BC pull away. Rose’s 46.6% shooting compared to Vinyl’s 35.2% made the difference, and their 11 assists to Vinyl’s five highlighted the more cohesive effort.
Finishing the season at 8-6, Rose was able to earn the second seed for the playoffs, already putting them in a good position to at least get to the championship. After taking down the No. 3 seed Laces BC by a score of 63-57, Rose made the championship and faced Vinyl, beating them 62-54.
