Caitlin Clark’s reaction to Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton’s Game 2 shot is pure gold

Even with the Cleveland Cavaliers missing Evan Mobley and Darius Garland, it looked as though the Indiana Pacers were going to fall in Game 2 of their second-round matchup. A split during the first two games at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse is nothing to scoff at, although it would have been a major missed opportunity if the Pacers weren’t going to take advantage of the Cavs being shorthanded.

Surely enough, Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers never gave up, forcing a crucial turnover and hauling in an offensive rebound in the final 28 or so seconds of the game, setting up Haliburton’s stunning game-winning stepback triple over Ty Jerome to give Indiana a 120-119 win and a 2-0 series lead.

There have now been two game-winning triples over the past two days, and Haliburton, along with Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon, continue to show that they’re built for the postseason moment. As a result, another Indiana sports icon, Caitlin Clark, was hyped up and celebrated her good friend’s heroics in a thrilling Pacers win.

“TY!!!!!!!! WHAT A WIN !!!!!!” Clark wrote on her official account on X (formerly Twitter).

Clark and Haliburton have built a strong friendship over the past few years, and this friendship of theirs has only gotten stronger now that the former has made an even bigger name for herself now that she’s with the Indiana Fever of the WNBA. There are plenty of parallels between Clark and Haliburton, with both of them transforming their respective franchises for the better in such a major way.

Surely, with Haliburton taking another leap for the Pacers in this year’s playoffs, Clark will be even more inspired to lead the Fever to greater heights, especially now that she has a more stacked roster with her.

Tyrese Haliburton continues to show that he’s Pacers’ “good mom”
