On Wednesday night, the Knicks will be putting in some extra effort at Madison Square Garden.
Hero
Aaron Nesmith, channeling his inner Reggie Miller, led the Pacers in an incredible comeback, racking up 20 points in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter.
Zero
Meanwhile, OG Anunoby had a quieter performance, and a crucial missed free throw with just 7.1 seconds remaining allowed the Pacers to tie the game, aided by Tyrese Halliburton’s buzzer-beater.
Unsung Hero
Tyrese Halliburton usually shines but was somewhat overshadowed this time. Despite Nesmith’s standout night, Halliburton managed to hit a game-tying shot in the dying seconds of regulation.
Key Statistics
The Pacers scored 23 points in the final 3:14 of the fourth quarter, marking a record for the most points in that time during playoff history.
