Caitlin Clark reacts to Pacers’ epic comeback win in NBA Finals 2025 Game 1 vs Thunder. Haliburton’s game-winner stuns OKC as Indiana grabs 1-0 lead. Read full match highlights and Caitlin Clark’s viral tweet.
Indiana Fever sensation Caitlin Clark lit up social media Thursday night after the Indiana Pacers pulled off a jaw-dropping 111-110 comeback win over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the NBA Finals 2025.
Despite recovering from a quad injury, Clark was as vocal as ever online, hailing the Pacers as the “greatest comeback team I’ve ever seen!” And with good reason.
Haliburton’s Last-Second Heroics Seal Game 1
In a nail-biting finish, Tyrese Haliburton sank a cold-blooded jumper with just 1.2 seconds left to give Indiana their first lead of the night — and the only one that mattered. The Pacers had trailed nearly the entire game, including a massive deficit in the first half due to 19 turnovers.
But the second half told a different story: cleaner possessions, sharper defense, and a never-say-die attitude that’s quickly becoming Indiana’s trademark.
Caitlin Clark’s Viral Reaction Goes National
Clark, known for her fiery spirit and connection to Indiana sports, tweeted during the closing moments:
“PACERS ARE THE GREATEST COMEBACK TEAM I’VE EVER SEEN.”
This echoes her viral post from May 21, when the Pacers erased a 14-point deficit in under three minutes against the Knicks during the Eastern Conference Finals. That game, also won by a Haliburton dagger, ended in a 138-135 OT victory.
