Caitlin Clark: The Pacers' Lucky Charm

As last season's WNBA No. 1 pick, Caitlin Clark has gained popularity for her Stephen Curry-like playing style and striking looks. Although she has been sidelined by an injury for multiple WNBA games recently, she has frequently attended Pacers home games.


With the Pacers' Game 3 victory, the "Clark Law" continues: in the 8 playoff games she has watched this year, the Pacers remain undefeated (8-0), solidifying her status as their top good luck charm.

Historical Patterns Favor the Pacers

According to NBA Finals history, when the first two games end in a 1-1 tie, the team that wins Game 3 has an 80.5% championship probability. In 41 such instances, the Game 3 winner has claimed the title 33 times, failing only 8 times (excluding the 2020 bubble season, which had no home-court advantage).
