NEW YORK — Tyrese Haliburton wasn’t alive in 1994, when Reggie Miller flashed his famous choke sign to Spike Lee, silencing Lee and the Madison Square Garden crowd with a 25-point fourth-quarter barrage to win Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals. He has seen Winning Time, the documentary on Miller’s battles with the Knicks, though, “probably 50 times.” So when Haliburton’s long jumper dropped through at the end of the fourth quarter—completing an improbable, nearly impossible 14-point comeback, sending the game to overtime and propelling the Indiana Pacers to a 138–135 win over the New York Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals—Haliburton grabbed his throat and looked at Miller, who was, fittingly, in the TNT broadcast booth.
