Caitlin Clark watches Pacers take down Knicks to earn trip to NBA Finals

The Indiana Pacers are going to the NBA Finals after defeating the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals, and they had a marquee fan in attendance to watch it all go down.

WNBA phenom Caitlin Clark sat courtside during the Pacers' 125-108 Game 6 victory alongside Indiana Fever teammates Sophie Cunningham and Aliyah Boston.

Clark is currently sidelined from the Fever due to a quad injury, but she has maintained a steady sports presence in the Indianapolis basketball scene during her absence. 

Clark has been an occasional guest at Pacers games since starting her WNBA career in Indiana last year, and has developed a strong friendship with Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton. Haliburton helped lead the Pacers in Saturday's victory with a 21-point, 13-rebound performance, while Pascal Siakam had 31 points. 

The Pacers are now a perfect 7-0 in games that Clark attends as a fan.

After the Pacers came back from 14 points in the final three minutes of Game 1 of the series, Clark sent a celebratory post on X writing "PACERS ARE THE GREATEST COMEBACK TEAM IVE EVER SEEN." She then posted a celebratory post after Saturday's game as well. 

Now, she will get to watch the team compete against the Oklahoma City Thunder for a chance at the NBA championship. 

Meanwhile, the Knicks will head into the offseason with a long list of "what-ifs" after blowing the 14-point lead in Game 1 and missing out on a chance to reach the finals. The Knicks reached the conference final for the first time since 2000 this year.

Driver at fault in deadly Yellowstone crash had blood alcohol level twice the legal limit: police

A driver who crashed a pickup into a tour van near Yellowstone National Park earlier this month, causing the death of seven people, had a blood alcohol level more than twice the legal limit for driving, police said Friday. 

Isaiah Moreno, 25, of Humble, Texas, was operating a Dodge Ram pickup truck on U.S. Highway 20 in eastern Idaho when his vehicle crossed the center line and collided head-on with a Mercedes tour van carrying more than a dozen people.

Both vehicles burst into flames, and Moreno, along with six people from China, Italy and California, were killed. Survivors were taken to nearby hospitals with injuries.

The deadly crash happened near Henrys Lake, about 16 miles west of Yellowstone in Wyoming. Yellowstone is one of the country’s largest national parks and draws millions of visitors each year.

Moreno had a blood alcohol level of .20%, Idaho State Police said in a statement. The limit is .08%.

"This tragedy should be a wake-up call," police Capt. Chris Weadick said. "No one plans to cause a crash or take a life when they get behind the wheel, but choices have consequences."

Video from the May 1 crash shows a red truck on the wrong side of the road, its front crushed and on fire, while the tour van is engulfed in flames. Survivors were being tended to on the side of the road while a helicopter arrived.

Roger Merrill, 60, told The Associated Press he was driving home when he came upon the collision, and he said there was an anxious wait for first responders.

"It took an unnervingly long time for help to arrive just because of the location," he said.

ISP troopers responded to the collision at milepost 399. The highway where the crash happened is on a route between Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons that is open in the spring before a north-south route is plowed and the park fully opens for summer.

The victims in the tour van were named by Local News 8 as van driver Yu Zhang, 30, of Eastvale, California; Ivana Wen, 28, of Milan, Italy; Jianping Li, 71, of Guangxi, China; Xiaoming Jiang, 66, of Guilin, China; Li Nie, 64, of Arcadia, California; and Aifeng Wan, 53, also of Arcadia, California.
