1 wild stat proves Caitlin Clark is the Pacers' good luck charm

The Indiana Pacers obviously have a talented roster full of good shooters and defenders from Tyrese Haliburton to NBA Finals Game 3 star Bennedict Mathurin.
But it might be Caitlin Clark (!) who's carrying this team to an NBA title in 2025.
The WNBA star for the Indiana Fever is buddies with Haliburton, and she's attended eight games as the Pacers have made a run all the way to the championship series this year. And in all eight of those games? The Pacers have notched a victory.
So I'm sure the Pacers will want Clark to keep giving the "choke" celebration, or to go ahead and taunt opposing players, because that perfect 8-0 record goes along with her attendance.
Will Caitlin Clark be able to attend more NBA Finals games to root on the Pacers?
Let's assume she can only come to home games. They play on Friday at home and, if there's a Game 6, that will be on Thursday, June 19. The Fever have a game at home on Saturday, so maybe she'll be there. And then on the 19th, her WNBA team is on the road against the Valkyries, so I'd say she's a no for that one.

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle using finals platform to bring awareness to food insecurity in Indiana
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — At the NBA Finals, Indiana coach Rick Carlisle is trying to shine a light on what he considers an important cause. Carlisle often has been seen wearing a QR code on his shirt — one that directs interested scanners to a site for his Drive & Dish initiative, something he founded about two years ago to raise money for battling food insecurity across Indiana. So far, the program has raised more than $1 million. Carlisle and the Pacers have also made donations to the charity, which served more than 1,000 households and distributed more than 250,000 pounds of food in in its first year. 'Each year we've been able to help more people,' Carlisle said Friday night before Game 4 of the finals between the Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder. 'People in Indiana should never have to deal with food insecurity. There's plenty of food in Indiana. The challenge is logistics. So, this charity helps with logistics.' The program has partnered with Spokenote, which provides the technology behind the scannable code. The Pacers and Spokenote also collaborated last year on the first scannable code on a jersey in the four U.S. major pro sports leagues. Another partner is the Gleaners food bank, which works with Drive & Dish in providing fresh food, produce, eggs and more to families who need help. Carlisle said when the program started, about 1 million people in the state were considered food insecure — or in other words, unsure where their next meal was coming from. The Pacers plan to help the program grow as needed across the state over the next decade. 'It's been a great effort,' Carlisle said. 'I've got some really great people that are supporting it. I'm very grateful.' ___ AP NBA:
