Caitlin Clark made her support clear from Game 1. She celebrated an Indiana Pacers win while sitting courtside, which was unmistakable given her role as a guard for the Indiana Fever. After Indiana secured the series with a 4-1 victory on Wednesday, Clark dropped a candid message.

"It was crazy, I was down in the tunnel watching," Clark said of the Pacers game in a Fever media availability on Wednesday. "I had to go look at the ESPN win probability after that... One of the best finishes I've ever been a part of. The Pacers are so fun to watch. It's been incredible to see the state rally around them and how they support them and also how they support us and how the two teams support each other."

She praised the Pacers’ style, noting, “Pacers are so fun to watch and you know it’s been incredible to see obviously the state rally around them and how they support them and also obviously how they support us”.

Clark also highlighted the mutual fan engagement, saying, “Whether it’s them coming to our games, whether it’s us going to their games, just both of us play a really fun style basketball”.

The thrilling finish saw Tyrese Haliburton hit the game-winner with 1.3 seconds left in overtime after the Pacers closed on an 8-0 run. Clark’s reaction was first shared via her Instagram Stories, where she reposted the highlight with shushing emojis, before expanding on her thoughts at a Fever media availability.

This is the third straight first-round exit for the Bucks, which would be massive heartbreak for the fans, especially considering how Giannis Antetokounmpo played top of his game for the entire month of April.
