The Indiana Pacers beat the New York Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, 125-108. As a result, Tyrese Haliburton and company officially closed out the series, 4-2, and earned an NBA Finals berth.
Clark, who was in attendance at the game alongside Fever teammates Aliyah Boston and Lexie Hull, was among the first ones to react to the victory. On her Instagram Stories, she posted a video of the final seconds of the game along with the caption, stating, "FINALSSSSS."
Aside from that, though, the WNBA star's live reaction to the Pacers' win was also caught on camera. As the whole Gainbridge Fieldhouse was celebrating, Clark was seen really hyped up, even going as far as flexing and shouting her lungs out.
Sure enough, fans loved her reaction, with many simply happy to see her cheer for the Pacers and feel that she's part of the team.

"She feels part of it," a commenter wrote. Another one said, "She so happy for Pacers!"
"Ha! Love that she is so supportive of the team. Makes me feel a bit old though. The year I moved to Indiana is the same year the Pacers last made the finals. Clark wasn't even born yet," a fan added.
A supporter shared, "She's an awesome fan."
"Indy's Wahoo Queen," a social media user described Clark.
"Indiana is on top of the basketball world," a sixth poster remarked.

It's hard to blame Clark for being extra hyped, though. The Pacers last made it to the NBA Finals in 2000, when the then Reggie Miller-led squad lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in six games.

Not to mention that the Pacers have yet to win an NBA Championship, although they do have three ABA (American Basketball Association) titles.
