Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton was hyped during the Indiana Fever's 92-75 victory over the Seattle Storm at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Sunday. Haliburton attended the game with his Pacers teammate Obi Toppin and the duo were seated in the front row.

Haliburton and Toppin leapt from their seats after Fever guard Lexie Hull drained her sixth 3-pointer of the game. Despite pressure from a Storm defender, the 24-year-old sank the corner shot, igniting a frenzy among fans in the arena.

Haliburton excitedly hugged Toppin after Hull extended Indiana's lead to 81-69 with four minutes left in the fourth quarter. Haliburton later took to X (formerly Twitter) to react to the video of his celebration with Toppin.

"BOW BOW BOW @lexiehulll," Haliburton tweeted.

Hull came off the bench for Indiana and provided a major boost on the offensive end. The 24-year-old caught fire from the 3-point range and shot 6-of-7 from beyond the arc.

Overall, Hull shot 8-of-10 from the floor and recorded a season-high 22 points in 20:52 minutes. The former Stanford star averages just 4.5 points per game this season.

After the game, Toppin praised Hull and compared her to Steph Curry.

Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell were the other Indiana players who scored over 20 points in the game. Clark dropped 23 points on 9-of-19 shooting from the field while Mitchell added 27 points on 10-of-19 shooting from the floor.

On the back of a brilliant offensive performance, Christie Sides' group improved to a 13-15 record this season.

Haliburton arrived at the Gainbridge Fieldhous for the second-straight Indiana Fever game on Sunday. The Pacers star was also in the building during the Fever's 98-89 victory over the Phoenix Mercury on Friday.

During Friday's game, Haliburton was shocked with Clark's jaw-dropping cross-court pass to Mitchell. The 24-year-old held his head in awe and his reaction instantly went viral on social media.

Speaking of Haliburton, the two-time NBA All-Star recently celebrated a gold medal victory with Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics. He played in three of their six games, but had zero minutes during the semifinal against Serbia and the gold medal game against France.

He averaged 2.7 points and 8.8 minutes in the recently concluded Summer Games.
