During a playoff filled with excitement on the court and unusual fan experiences, the Pacers guaranteed they would go to the NBA Finals for only the second time in nearly two decades by winning Game 6 against the Knicks 125–108. Although the Pacers performed great, celebrity Caitlin Clark ’s performance of Jalen Brunson ’s famous celebration made the game more fun for everyone.
Caitlin Clark's Courtside Antics Steal the Spotlight During Pacers' Historic WinAs the Pacers took the lead, WNBA rookie star Caitlin Clark, who was out with a quad injury, was seen courtside at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. She was there with her Indiana Fever teammates Aliyah Boston and Lexie Hull, and Clark turned out to be an unexpected star of the game. After Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton hit a three-pointer, Clark copied Knicks guard Jalen Brunson's signature celebration by covering her face with her hand—a move Brunson frequently does after sinking a three-pointer.


That moment went viral in no time, with fans and commentators alike applauding Clark's lively engagement. Even though she was injured, Clark's presence and playful tease at Brunson lightened the mood in the high-stakes setting of the Eastern Conference Finals .


The Pacers put on a show on the court that proved they’re ready for the Finals. Pascal Siakam led the charge with 31 points, earning himself the Eastern Conference Finals MVP award. Tyrese Haliburton added 21 points and 13 assists, while Obi Toppin scored 18 points and pulled down six rebounds against his previous team.


The Pacers caused 17 turnovers and got many chances on the fast break because the Knicks’ quick defensive transitions were poor. Being faster in transition helped Indiana, with them scoring 25 compared to New York's 10 and this difference greatly helped Indiana win.

In the game, OG Anunoby scored 24 points for the Knicks and Karl-Anthony Towns provided 22 points and 14 rebounds. Their efforts weren’t enough as the Pacers took a big 9-0 lead late in the third.
