Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark had the same reaction as most basketball fans on Thursday, June 5, as the Pacers shocked the Oklahoma City Thunder with a late rally to win Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton scored the game-winner with a 21-foot pull-up jump shot before the buzzer.
“You cant make it up,” Clark said in a post on X that was followed up by 17 laughing emojis.
The Fever guard has been at several home games for the Pacers this postseason to witness what she has described as the ‘greatest comeback team’ she has seen.
The Pacers have staged several big comebacks these playoffs, a few of them capped by Haliburton game-winners.
Clark could potentially be in attendance for Game 3 on Wednesday, following the Fever’s road game against the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday. She is out with an injury, but gave her first public comments Thursday since getting hurt, saying there’s a ‘possibility’ she will play.
