The Pacers staged a comeback win with only a 0.103% chance of winning, and Haliburton "choked" to celebrate

The first game of the NBA playoffs Eastern Conference Championship on the 22nd climaxed, and the Pacers, who were still 17 points behind in the deciding quarter, relied on Nesmith's 6 three-pointers in a single quarter and scored 20 points, plus Haliburton's magical whistle to tie the game to overtime, and finally defeated the Knicks 138-135, staging a reversal win with only a 0.103% chance of winning.

With the Pacers trailing by 14 points with 2:50 left in the fourth quarter, ESPN predicted a 0.3% chance of winning, compared to a 0-970 record in the last 27 playoffs, but the Pacers broke the curse of total defeat and became the first team in history to win.

The final 2:50 trailed the Knicks by 14 points. If you want to use a team to interpret the meaning of "miracle", the Pacers are the best choice, after all, since the 1996-97 season, the team that is still at least 7 points behind in the last 50 seconds of the deciding quarter or playoff has a record of 4 wins and 1702 losses, of which 3 wins have come from the Pacers this season, including G5 against the Bucks in the first round and G2 against the Cavaliers in the semifinals.

Haliburton's shot in the final stage, the ball bounced high in the frame before breaking the net, became the best comment for the Pacers' surprise win yesterday, and he also made a "choke" celebration to pay tribute to the legendary scorer Miller in team history, but unfortunately, the ball failed to complete the three-point shot because of stepping on the line, fortunately this did not affect the result of the win, but Haliburton smiled awkwardly and said: "If I knew it was just a tie, I wouldn't have done it." ”

In this game, Haliburton scored 31 points and 11 assists, and Nesmith contributed 30 points, especially in the decisive moment, which made Pacers coach Carlisle exclaim: "People who can play in the NBA are really incredible." Knicks Brunson scored 43 points and Towns had 35 points and 12 rebounds, but the two missed back-to-back three-pointers in overtime and couldn't win their first game at home.
