Pacers Rally Past Knicks in Dramatic Game 1

The Indiana Pacers overcame a 14-point deficit in the final minutes to defeat the New York Knicks 138-135 in overtime in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Tyrese Haliburton tied the game at the end of regulation with a jumper initially ruled a three-pointer but changed to a two-pointer on review, and he finished with 31 points and 11 assists. Aaron Nesmith added 30 points, including key late three-pointers. The Knicks, led by Jalen Brunson's 43 points and Karl-Anthony Towns' 35 points, suffered a historic collapse, as teams with a 14+ point lead in the last 2:45 had been 994-0 since 1997-98 until this loss. Actor Jon Hamm, sitting courtside, inadvertently interfered with a play but did not affect the outcome. Game 2 will be held in New York before the series moves to Indianapolis.
