Indiana Fever guard and former Iowa standout Caitlin Clark was at Gainbridge Field House on Friday to witness Tyrese Haliburton's game-winning floater that helped the Indiana Pacers beat the Milwaukee Bucks by the score of 121-118.

Clark and Fever teammate Erica Wheeler witnessed the final shot firsthand, as their reactions were captured in a video posted on X.

With the score tied 118-118 and six seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Haliburton dropped in a floater from just inside the paint as he was fouled. He hit the ensuing free throw before a Khris Middleton three-point attempt missed at the buzzer, giving the Pacers a 2-1 series lead.

Haliburton finished with a triple-double in the win, scoring 18 points and dishing out 16 assists while grabbing 10 rebounds. Although he shot just 1-12 from behind the arc, he connected on 70 percent of his two-point field goals which included the game-winning bucket.

Clark was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft after four exceptional seasons with the Hawkeyes, becoming the NCAA's all-time leading scorer on March 3. She wrapped up her senior campaign by averaging 31.6 points and 8.9 assists per game, canning 37.8 percent of her triples while attempting 13.6 three-pointers each night.

She was introduced to the Pacers crowd before the game started, receiving a standing ovation.

The duo previously met after the WNBA draft, as the two guards posed for a photo on April 17.

With Clark preparing for her Fever debut and Haliburton delivering clutch shots in the playoffs, the future of basketball in Indiana is as bright as ever.
