A controversial helped doom the Knicks on Wednesday night in a gut-wrenching 138-135 Game 1 loss to the Pacers.
In the final minute of overtime, an Obi Toppin follow-up dunk and nifty pass from Haliburton to a cutting Andew Nembhard gave the Pacers the spark they needed to withstand two late three-point attempts from New York stars Jalen Brunson (43 points) and Karl-Anthony Towns (35 points), which would have tied the game.
Indiana didn't let a little thing like being down 14 with 2:51 to go in the fourth quarter stop them from stealing Game 1 of the East finals in overtime.
The Indiana Pacers visit the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference finals with a 1-0 lead in the series. The teams meet for the fifth time this season.
