Tyrese Haliburton channels Reggie Miller

Miller did the choking gesture toward director and rabid Knicks fan Spike Lee in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals between the Pacers and Knicks in 1994. He scored 25 points in the fourth quarter of that game to overturn a 12-point deficit at the start of the period and lead the Pacers to a 93-86 win.
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.
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.
