On May 22, 2025, in the G1 of the NBA Playoff Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks played against the Pacers at home. The Knicks defeated the Celtics 4-2 in the semifinals, while the Pacers 4-1 "gentleman sweeps" the Cavaliers. In the end, the Pacers relied on Nesmith's 3-point shots and 6 consecutive shots, and Halliburton's cross-line draw to reverse the Knicks by 17 points.

It is worth mentioning that the Knicks are still 17 points ahead with 6 and a half minutes left in the final quarter. Let's review what happened next: It all starts with Nesmith's sudden outbreak, who scored 6 three-pointers in the last 4 minutes and 45 seconds, and the story begins like this...

The first four regular three-pointers!

The fifth one, the long three-pointer came with defense!

The sixth one, the ball was moved horizontally and the three-pointer was also made!

The Knicks also gave a chance, and Towns &OG made two free throws in succession!

Halliburton hit a magical and two-pointer in the last moment of regular time, and imitated Reggie Miller's throat and gave it to New York.

Halliburton made 12 of 23 shots, 4 of 12 of 3-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, scored 31 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists and 1 steal in 42 minutes, with plus or negative value +15.

According to statistics, Halliburton has hit the equalizer or overtaken the ball in the last 10 seconds so far this year's playoffs. I have to say that Halliburton is really too strong this year, so strong that fans doubt their lives.

Halliburton was interviewed on the sidelines after the game. Speaking of his draw in the regular season, he said: "I wanted to shoot two points at that time, but Miro knocked the ball out. I don't know how much time is left, so I tried to adjust myself and shoot the ball in. I thought it was a three-pointer."

Speaking of the throat-locking celebration, he said: "Everyone wants me to do it, I always want to save the right time, it's good at that time." Then there was Nesmith who made 3 points and 6 consecutive shots. In the whole game, Nesmith played 38 minutes, made 9 of 13 shots, including 8 of 9 three-pointers, scoring 30 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

In the fourth quarter, Nesmith scored 6 three-pointers and scored 20 points, helping the team drag into overtime and finally complete the reversal. According to statistics, Nesmith made 6 three-pointers in the last quarter, setting a record of three-pointers in the last quarter of the playoffs! Another hero is head coach Carlisle. In the last 2 minutes and 24 seconds of overtime, Carlisle replaced Turner with Toppin, and the Pacers were 1 point behind.

Then the draw immediately intercepted Brunson to help Nemhard make a layup and overtake. After that, the magic weapon dunked from the sky and then overtaked. In the last 15 seconds, a stunning trolley dunk was staged, helping the team lead by 3 points and almost secure the victory. A masterpiece is worthy of being the champion coach.

Pacers coach Carlisle said when talking about the victory after the game: "This is just the first day of the series. Our guys have contributed unparalleled performance. They raced at the same time and found a solution to the problem. Their performance is enough to win the game. But this will be a long series, and we cannot be too excited about today's victory." It has to be said that the Pacers' performance this year was too amazing. I think all the fans and well-known basketball commentators definitely did not think that the Pacers would play to the Eastern Conference Finals, even the Finals, and even win the championship. Let Pacers continue to make history!
