Caitlin Clark is undeniably one of the Indiana Pacers' biggest fans, and so when the NBA franchise staged a massive comeback in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, the Indiana Fever star was naturally hyped.
Tyrese Haliburton saved the Pacers from the verge of defeat after trailing by as many as 15 points against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday. With less than seven seconds left and Indiana trailing 110-109, the All-Star guard took matters into his own hands and delivered a 21-foot pull-up jumper for the win.
Right after Haliburton made the game-winning shot, Clark quickly took to social media to express her disbelief. She wrote, "YOU CANT MAKE IT UP," referring to the clutch basket and how the All-Star playmaker has repeatedly delivered for the team when it matters most.
Clark also shared a video of the play on her Instagram Stories, further highlighting how amazed she was by what happened.

The Pacers, for their part, showed appreciation for Caitlin Clark and her continued support by acknowledging her reaction.
"@caitlinclark22 on @tyresehaliburton’s game-winner," the Pacers wrote on Instagram along with a smirking face emoji. The post was accompanied by a screenshot of Clark's reaction.
The Pacers also responded to the Fever star's actual post on X, writing several smiling face with horns emoji.
For what it's worth, Clark was not the only Fever player to celebrate the Pacers' epic win. Aliyah Boston, Sophie Cunningham, Natasha Howard and Brianna Turner were also quick to share their thoughts, all expressing their shock and amazement.
Game 2 of the Thunder-Pacers series is scheduled for Sunday. Sure enough, it's safe to expect Clark and the rest of the Fever to tune in to the game as they cheer for Indiana.
