Caitlin Clark super fan has wholesome reaction to Fever VIP treatment
Taylor Massey surprised her grandma, also Caitlin Clark's biggest fan, with Fever tickets. The team saw the video and upgraded their seats.
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark had the same reaction as most basketball fans on Thursday evening 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 can't 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 off 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.

Caitlin Clark's Fever Teammate Named WNBA Breakout Candidate
Caitlin Clark's Fever Teammate Named WNBA Breakout Candidate originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Fever earned praise for having the best group of young players in the WNBA, but it's more than just mega-star Caitlin Clark leading the way. Advertisement ESPN's Neil Paine ranked the young core -- players in their age-25 season or under -- for all WNBA teams and put the Fever at the top of the list. While Paine noted that Clark is the team's brightest star, he also predicted that guard Lexie Hull has been showing steady improvement and could be headed to a breakout season. "Don't sleep on Hull, either; the fourth-year guard out of Stanford has improved each year of her WNBA career and is tracking for a breakout performance," Paine wrote. Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) talks to guard Lexie Hull (10).© Brett Davis-Imagn Images Paine added that Clark and Aliyah Boston, the last two WNBA Rookie of the Year award winners, have already found out how to mesh in the Fever's offense. He wrote that Clark serves "the WNBA's ultimate heliocentric perimeter creator and initiator, and Boston scoring inside the arc with high volume and efficiency." Advertisement "When healthy (and both have been extremely durable throughout college and the pros, up until Clark's recent injury), no team has a dynamic duo this good and this young," Paine wrote. But Hull could continue to carve out a big role as well, as she has nearly doubled her previous career-high with 10.7 points per game. She is adding 4.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.1 steals per game.
