Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark was one of the tens of thousands of fans who were in Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Monday night to witness what turned out to be a brutal demolition job.
The Indiana Pacers were coming off a 126-104 home loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday, and they made sure to right that wrong in Game 4. The Pacers came firing out of the gates, and they didn’t look back, taking out the Cavs in a 129-109 blowout to take a commanding 3-1 lead in this second-round NBA playoffs series.

At one point in the game, Indiana was up by 41 points against Cleveland, who lost superstar guard Donovan Mitchell to a concerning ankle injury.
Clark just had to flex the Pacers’ massive lead by posting a photo of the scoreboard on her Instagram stories. The Fever guard did not need any words for her post as she let the score do all the talking for her.
To be fair to the Cavs, they were able to cut down the lead to avoid what would have been a total embarrassment. In the end, they lost by 20 points, which is less than half of the 41-point lead Clark flexed.
This series now shifts to Cleveland for Game 5 on Tuesday, with the Pacers just one win away from booking their spot in the Eastern Conference Finals.

For her part, Clark is also coming off a win with the Fever. She led Indiana to an 81-76 victory over the Atlanta Dream on Saturday to close out their preseason with a 3-0 record.
