Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark was among the many basketball stars reacting to the Indiana Pacers’ high-scoring game against the Washington Wizards on Thursday. The Pacers had nine players scoring double digits that night, led by Tyrese Haliburton, subduing the Wizards with a 162-109 final score at the Capital One Arena.
Clark, who has been a huge supporter of the Pacers and has a well-documented friendship with Tyrese Haliburton and his girlfriend, took to social media to express her amazement at the Pacers’ feat. She shared the Pacers’ graphic on her Instagram story.
“162 points,” said Clark in her caption accompanied by a mind-blown emoji.
Following their heartbreaking one-point loss to the LA Lakers (120-119) on Wednesday, the Pacers bounced back emphatically, blowing out the competition and impressing their fans with their awe-inspiring performance.
The Pacers shot 57.4% from beyond the arc, connecting 27 three-pointers out of 49 attempts. Haliburton, who finished the game with 29 points, went 7-for-10 from long distance.
That game saw the Pacers score the most points this season. They also set the franchise record for the most points they have ever scored in a single game.
