The Knicks went on a surge in the second quarter to take a seven-point lead at halftime. In fact, they scored 69 points and shot 51% from the field and 42.1% from 3-point range while three of their players scored at least a dozen points.

It's an Eastern Conference finals matchup rooted in history as the Indiana Pacers face the New York Knicks in Game 1 on Wednesday. This is the ninth time the two teams have faced off in the postseason.

If the New York Knicks' fourth-quarter collapse in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals was unbelievable that's probably because it was the first of its kind, dating back to the start of the play-by-play era in 1997.
