'What a team, what a city!' Reggie Miller, Caitlin Clark watch Pacers beat Thunder in NBA Finals Game 3
The Indiana Pacers took a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals on Wednesday night with a 116-107 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
After a 25-year wait, the Gainbridge Fieldhouse atmosphere was absolutely bonkers, and Pacers supporters reveled in the victory.
Pacers legend Reggie Miller, wearing a retro Mark Jackson jersey, hugged Tyrese Haliburton postgame. Caitlin Clark's influence on the Pacers continued. There are jokes about the New York Knicks asking about Pacers coach Rick Carlisle.
Here's some of the best reaction:

Thunder have lost more games to an East team in the past week than they did to the entire Eastern Conference in the regular season.— Christian Clark (@cclark_13) June 12, 2025
A remarkable resiliency streak continues. The Pacers have won 10 straight games following a loss.
They haven’t lost back to back games in 94 days.
This time, it delivers the Pacers their 2nd win of the NBA Finals.— Pat Boylan Fever/Pacers (@PatBoylanPacers) June 12, 2025
