Watch: Tyrese Haliburton's rousing reaction to Caitlin Clark's insane 3-point shot in Fever's win vs Dream
Indiana Pacers rising superstar Tyrese Haliburton was in awe of Caitlin Clark after the Indiana Fever rookie sank an incredible three-point shot during Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Dream. Clark delivered a stellar all-around performance, leading the Fever to a thrilling 104-100 victory at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
Throughout the game, the 22-year-old dazzled with deep three-pointers, crafty ball handling, and precision passing, creating numerous highlight-reel moments.
One of the most memorable moments came at the start of the fourth quarter. In the first possession of the period, Clark initiated the play before sprinting from the paint to the corner three-point line via top of the key.
Temi Fagbenle passed her the ball, and without even setting her feet, Clark launched a shot from the corner while she was still drifting to her left. The ball swished through the net, sending the arena into a frenzy.
