Caitlin Clark hit a fairly legendary 35-foot 3-point shot during the Indiana Fever's exhibition game against the Brazilian National Team on Sunday, May 4 — and according to the team, she was mic'd up while doing so.

That might explain why some of the reactions to the shot were so audible. In a video shared by the Fever, the crowd can be heard screaming before Clark rushes to her teammates, who congratulate her. In the next clip, Clark is seen holding up her signature heart with her hands, presumably directed toward her family and friends in the crowd.

The Fever dominated the game against Brazil, winning 108-44. Clark finished the game with 16 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists in 19 minutes of play after missing the team's first preseason game against the Washington Mystics on Saturday, May 3.

The team will next face off against the Atlanta Dream on May 10.
