#2: Pacers vs Milwaukee Bucks (May 4, 2000)
This was the deciding Game 5 of the first round of the 2000 playoffs. This game was close throughout the entire contest. The Pacers were on the brink of elimination before Travis Best hit a corner three-pointer.
This is still one of the biggest shots in franchise history. Without it, the Pacers wouldn’t have gone on to play the Lakers for the championship.

Pacers won by a thin margin, 96-95.
