I thought it was a three-pointer, it didn&#8217;t work, but we made it in overtime,&#8221; Haliburton said at the end of the duel.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.infobae.com\/america\/agencias\/2025\/05\/21\/wall-street-cierra-rojo-con-dow-jones-perdiendo-800-puntos-tras-aumento-repentino-en-bonos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It wasn&#8217;t a triple-winning shot, but Haliburton&#8217;s basket culminated a spectacular comeback in 2 minutes and 39 seconds that included 6 consecutive three-pointers by Aaron Nesmith (20 points in the final quarter) for a final score of 6-20 for the Pacers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indiana thus overcame a 16-point deficit that the Knicks had built minutes earlier with their star, Jalen Brunson, on the bench due to foul trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.infobae.com\/america\/agencias\/2025\/05\/21\/sukupay-se-convierte-en-la-primera-infraestructura-blockchain-integrada-en-una-app-bancaria-de-latinoamerica\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a>The duel was a &#8216;d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu&#8217; of the epic clashes that Pacers and Knicks starred in the 1990s with the mythical &#8216;feud&#8217; between Miller and Spike Lee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WHAT A SHOT BY TYRESE HALIBURTON \ud83e\udd2f\ud83e\udd2f\ud83e\udd2f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8wEwdkeRwZ\">https:\/\/t.co\/8wEwdkeRwZ<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/s497GwRWi9\">pic.twitter.com\/s497GwRWi9<\/a><\/p>&mdash; NBA (@NBA) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NBA\/status\/1925384911210393822?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 22, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two teams crossed paths six times in the playoffs between 1993 and 2000, including three Eastern Conference Finals (1994, 1999, and 2000).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year, this iconic duel had its first &#8216;revival&#8217; in a series of semifinals, which Indiana won 4-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the clutch basket, Haliburton scored 31 points, dished out 11 assists, and grabbed 4 rebounds for the Pacers. Nesmith scored 30, being the true architect of the comeback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pascal Siakam scored 17, Andrew Nembhard 15, and Myles Turner 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the Knicks, Jalen Brunson scored 43 points, but had 7 devastating turnovers. Karl-Anthony Towns scored 35 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges scored 16 each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knicks and Pacers will play the second game of the series, again in New York, this coming Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Indiana Pacers started the Eastern Conference Finals with a 9-for-9 shooting streak that rattled Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But this very high effectiveness did not help them to beat a New York Knicks team that also started very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pacers&#8217; biggest lead in this initial stretch of the game was 7 points, which the Knicks had already erased before the end of the quarter, with a score of 36-34.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mitchell Robinson with his 3 offensive rebounds was key for the Knicks to raise the score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New York had its moment in the second quarter, with a 13-1 run culminated by a three-pointer from Karl-Anthony Towns after a missed dunk by Obi Toppin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was 54-46, with a maximum difference of +8 for the Knicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pacers reacted, but the Knicks closed with a 14-5 run to go into halftime 69-62.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indiana played a third quarter with a lot of discipline, in which they were reducing the difference from a Knicks team that attempted few shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a lot of effort, the Pacers closed the fourth 90-87, with everything open for the last 12 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final quarter began with the Pacers getting within one point and everything in their favor after Jalen Brunson, key for the Knicks in close finishes, committed his fifth foul, which forced Tom Thibodeau to bench him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But with Brunson on the bench, the Knicks signed a demolishing 14-0 run -with 7 points from OG Anunoby- for a maximum difference of +16 (108-92). The run included two fouls by the Pacers on three-point attempts, showing Indiana&#8217;s helplessness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But when they seemed dead, Aaron Nesmith resurrected the Pacers with 5 consecutive three-pointers in the final stretch of the game, with Brunson already back, putting a 123-118 at 34 seconds and forcing Thibodeau to stop the duel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upon returning, Brunson lost the ball for the Knicks. The Pacers gave it to Nesmith, who put the fear in the Madison Square Garden with his sixth consecutive three-pointer at 22 seconds to put the score 123-121.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With 125-123 and 7 seconds, Tyrese Haliburton took the ball and made what he thought was an incredible three-pointer at the buzzer that would have given the Pacers the victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Haliburton had worked a miracle, but the tip of his shoe had stepped on the line so it only counted for 2 points. Overtime game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knicks and Pacers played a back-and-forth overtime, with Indiana taking the lead for the first time since the second quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pacers went ahead 135-138 after another Brunson turnover, leaving the Knicks with possession and 15 seconds to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indiana let them play and they had two chances to tie, but Brunson and Towns missed their three-pointers.
