Tyrese Haliburton helped the Pacers rally from a 17-point deficit to stun the Knicks in overtime in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals.

Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers pulled off a stunning comeback win against the New York Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals on Wednesday. The Pacers were down by 14 points with less than three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, but managed to come away with a 138-135 win in overtime.

After a clutch Game 1 performance at MSG, Tyrese Haliburton drew comparisons to Reggie Miller from Chris Broussard.

And just like Reggie Miller nearly three decades ago, the Pacers used a sharpshooter (Aaron Nesmith) to stun the Knicks again. Miller's spurt was quick, eight points in almost no time at all. Nesmith had about three minutes to work with, but he scored even more. The Pacers trailed 116-102 with 3:14 left.

With All-Stars Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Haliburton now leading the way, take a moment to revisit the history of a rivalry that helped shape the NBA's Eastern Conference.

The New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers meet again in the NBA playoffs for the 2025 Eastern Conference finals. It's another chapter in their rivalry.
