Fans traveled across state lines to cheer on their respective teams, and expressed their desire for Boston to create its own WNBA team.

"I think the market here itself is just going to be better for a women’s basketball program," said Sun guard Saniya Rivers.

Connecticut Sun guard Saniya Rivers spent almost her entire life in North Carolina before she was drafted into the WNBA, but the rookie truly became a New Englander on Monday when she tried her first lobster roll ahead of the Sun’s game against the Indiana Fever at TD Garden.

The Indiana Fever are heading into the All-Star break playing good basketball. With Caitlin Clark back in the mix, they’ve won two straight games by a combined 36 points and are gaining confidence at the perfect time. One player who's stepped up during the streak? Sophie Cunningham.

Healey praised the Sun for bringing so many figures from so many corners of sports and business together in the name of women’s sports.
