Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals was a tightly contested battle until the fourth quarter, when the New York Knicks caught fire and built a commanding 17-point lead at one point over the Indiana Pacers.

At the end of regulation with the Pacers down two, Haliburton hit a step-back three at the buzzer. The ball hit the back of the rim, skied about six feet above, and fell into the net as time expired. However, upon review, his toe was still on the line.

The Knicks took two of three during this year’s season series, with newcomer Karl-Anthony Towns averaging 30.3 points and 12.0 rebounds, including a 40-point effort in a 128-115 road win on Feb. 11. Hart also registered a season-high 30 points in that game.

The Knicks will play the Pacers in the conference finals. The Knicks haven’t been to the NBA Finals since 1999 and the Pacers haven’t been since 2000.
