The Pacers were on the road Wednesday night to face the Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Indiana battled New York all game but were down 17 with roughly seven minutes left.
This postseason, the Pacers have proved to be a team that is hard to put away. They showed grit and determination in Game 1 and made an epic fourth-quarter comeback. Down 125-123, Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton had a chance to tie or win the game. Haliburton crossed over Knicks’ Mikal Bridges and created space for a step-back jumper. His shot bounced off the back of the rim and hung in the air before it went through the basket and forced OT. Indiana walked away with a 138-135 win in Game 1.
