tYrese Haliburton shot out the back of the edge for the last second. In a flash, New York Knicks fans were raucous, partisan crowds in Manhattan’s Madison Square Garden, who once had a moment of victory to celebrate the victory that would make the Knicks approach their first NBA final for the first time in 26 years, which would make it easier for people. Indiana Pacers point guard Haliburton seemed to miss the attempt to pierce their heart, turning the stomach into a mushy and turning their mind into a cauldron of anger. Or depression. Or both.

Probably both.

Because the Knicks lead the Pacers with a score of 111-94, there is 6:26 left in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals. In less than five minutes, the Knicks led by 15 points. The Knicks scored nine points in the last minute. Turnovers, missed foul shots and a red-hot shot from Indiana's Aaron Nesmith, who hit six fourth-quarter 3-pointers, the first player in NBA history to hit many people in the final game of the playoff game, which cuts the Pacers' Knicks' lead by 2 points, 125-123-125-123. Halliburton dribbles into the lane, where Mitchell Robinson of the Knicks meets him. He then moved to the top of the key and fired a shot at Robinson, which seemed to be three games to win, or missed, which would leave the Knicks off the hook and keep the win.

Despite Haliburton's attempt to stoop the basket, it then did something surprising for every "go to New York, go to New York, go" horror - waving for Knicks fans in the garden. It hangs in the air, hovering in a basket close enough to make it possible for an Indiana to escape from the miracle. "Looks like there's a chance," Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said after Indiana's amazing and historic 138-135 overtime defeat of the Knicks. "It's too high."

Walkers on the floor are more confident. Nesmith is under the basket. “I just looked at it,” Nesmith said. "I was like, 'Oh, it's great.'"

Haliburton, who scored 31 points, denied that the ball was completely deflated when it bounced from the basket. The camera feels real when it leaves his hand.

"It feels like being stuck there," Halliburton said afterward. "Honestly, when it comes in, I'm like, 'My eyes may have been cheating on me all the time.'"

New York can only dream of it.

However, this is very real. Haliburton and most arenas think his foot is behind the three-point line and his buzzer's foot ended up. So the walkers celebrated to the floor. Haliburton pays tribute to Pacers legend Reggie Miller, a member of the TNT Review crew whose choke logo is like Miller did in Game 5 Gardens in the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals 31 years ago, when Miller scored 25 points in the fourth quarter that shocked New York. However, the replay shows that Hailuburton's feet divide the lines. So the Pacers and the Knicks are now in fact a 125-125 deadlock and have to work overtime.

“If I knew these were two, I would no Hailburton said he made a chorus. So I think I might have wasted it. ”

In the last minute of overtime, OBI Toppin followed up dunks and a pass from Haliburton to cutting New York Andew Nembhard gave the Pacers the spark needed to withstand two 3-point attempts from New York stars Jalen Brunson (43 points) and Karl-Anthony Town (35 points) that would touch the game.

Given that the playoffs between the two franchises date back to the 1990s, and Indiana's history of stinging the Knicks in its own buildings - Indiana's comeback makes it even more surreal. The Knicks bounced back to the series at the '94 Miller exhibition, but the following year, in the second round of the playoffs, Miller scored eight points in the final nine seconds of the first game of MSG to steal seem like an impossible victory. The Knicks forced Game 7 in the 1995 series. But the New York season ended when Patrick Ewing missed the buzzer's finger layup.

New York won the championship in the 1999 Eastern Conference Championship by eliminating the Pacers in Game 6 at Gardens, but the following year Indiana sent the Knicks' pack in Game 6 at New York. Ewing, the New York Hall of Fame Center, never played for the Knicks after losing to the Pacers in 2000. Before this season, the Knicks have never returned to the finals since.

Naturally, in 2025, walkers are waiting.

All the heartbreak in Indiana has attracted Knicks fans over the years, which is probably the hottest. Because it's an incredible stat: the team leading by 14 points or more in the last 2:50 in the fourth quarter is 970-0.

970-0. Before tonight.

Hailburton hit a three-pointer to cut New York's lead to 119-108 with 2:39 left. Nesmith hit a three-pointer after Brunson's Miss, making it 119-111. Bruson's layup brought a comfortable 121-112 mat in New York. But Nesmith didn't finish it. At the last minute, three times tripled, Brunson missed the foul shot from Town and OG Anunoby, setting up Haliburton’s dramatic adjustment buzzer.

"It's probably the best feeling in the world, when that basket feels like an ocean and whatever you throw away, you'll feel like it's going to go in. It's so fun," Nesmith said.

The walker has a talent for drama. Since 1996-97, teams trailing 7 points or more in the last 50 seconds of the fourth quarter or 50 seconds in the playoffs are 4-1,702. Indiana has three wins, and they all compete in this year's playoffs.

"It's a 48-minute game," Carlisle said. "We always say that walking basketball is 48 minutes. Tonight is 53 minutes."

New York coach Tom Thibodeau looked frustrated in a post-match meeting with reporters and was overwhelmed by explaining what happened. "You let you down and hope to turn it into a determination," he said.

The Knicks and the Walkers return to MSG on Friday night. "I have caused me pain all my life," a 21-year-old woman said while applying for the arena.
