Chicago advertised before the game that this matchup is the first WNBA game at United Center in the building's 30-year history. With just under one minute gone in the first quarter, Fever star Aliyah Boston made history by scoring the first-ever WNBA basket where so many other historic basketball moments have taken place.

Chicago Sky coach Tyler Marsh recalled working the 2020 NBA All-Star game at the United Center when he was an assistant with the Toronto Raptors. He mentioned that his first experience at a WNBA All-Star game was also in Chicago — two years later at Wintrust Arena.

History was alive on the hardwood at center court Saturday as the Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever faced off in the first-ever WNBA game held at the United Center.
