The basketball world is still buzzing over Tyrese Haliburton's game-winning shot at the end of Game 1 of the NBA Finals that gave the Indiana Pacers a stunning win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Thunder have been heavily favored to win the championship, yet they blew a 15-point fourth-quarter lead, which set the scene for Haliburton to be the hero in the end.

Lexie Hull of the WNBA's Indiana Fever was asked what she was doing when he hit that clutch shot.

"I was sitting on my couch on Facetime with Sophie [Cunningham] and Caitlin [Clark] and we were just going crazy," she said. "It was like the coolest thing. It was a fun experience."

Haliburton has established himself as a bonafide star during this seson's playoffs. He hit a game-winning shot in Game 2 of the second round when the Pacers took a 2-0 series lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers, who won 64 games during the regular season.

He then sent Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals against the New York Knicks into overtime with a buzzer-beater that was nearly a 3-pointer, allowing the Pacers to go up 2-0 in that series.

Oklahoma City did battle back to take Game 2 of the championship series, 123-107, but with the series shifting to Indianapolis for the next two games, there is a feeling that it could go the limit.

The Fever, meanwhile, are looking to tread water with Clark out due to a strained quad and Cunningham dealing with an ankle injury.

They snapped a three-game losing streak on Saturday with a 79-52 victory over Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky. They hold a 4-4 record, which is at least keeping them in the realm of playoff contention until they return to full strength.

Clark could reportedly return as early as Tuesday when the Fever face Brittney Griner and the Atlanta Dream.
