The Indiana Pacers pulled off a miraculous fourth-quarter comeback that was finished by a Tyrese Haliburton shot fans have to see to believe. It took a wild bounce before dropping into the net. It seemed like the game-winner before a review deemed his foot was on the line to send the game to overtime. Fans won’t soon forget this one.
This one was incredible. The Pacers were down but stormed back to tie it. The shot made it even crazier. Game 1 seemed over when the Knicks were up by 15 with five minutes remaining in the fourth, but the Pacers did not stop fighting.
It took six Aaron Nesmith 3-pointers and two clutch Haliburton makes to push things to the extra five minutes. Nesmith was incredible in a performance Pacers fans won’t soon forget. It took a total team effort to even push it to overtime and create another unforgettable moment in this rivalry.
Pacers got the Tyrese Haliburton they need moving forward
Haliburton upped his aggressiveness in Game 1, and the Pacers desperately needed it. He finished with 31 points, 11 assists, four rebounds, and one steal in 42 minutes of action. Fans couldn’t believe his foot was on the line, but it didn’t matter. The Pacers took it in overtime and saved Hali from getting ridiculed for doing the Reggie Miller choke celebration.
The Pacers are now up 1-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals and stole homecourt from the Knicks. It took a 38-point fourth quarter and 138 points to win this shootout. Indiana does not get it done without a massive performance from Nesmith and Haliburton.
This is just the beginning of a wild series. The old rivals are just getting started. Rick Carlisle has a massive advantage in depth but will need Haliburton to keep his foot on the gas to pull this upset. It is certainly something worth watching in this series.
The Indiana Pacers clearly want it. There is no 15-point comeback in five minutes without. Tyrese Haliburton is the head of the snake, but this a deep team with multiple ways to win. They got it done on Wednesday night in one of the wildest comebacks in this year’s playoffs.
Pacers fans should be ecstatic. They are just three wins away from making the NBA Finals and seven victories away from their first championship. If it happens everyone will remember this shot. It was truly unbelievable.
