Tyrese Haliburton's Summer-Beater sends game 1 to OT, Pacers Complete Mondering Comack

Tyrese Haliburton met a long two pointer with a step backwards to defeat the Summer and send game 1 of the Eastern Conference final.

The Indiana Pacers remained the New York Knicks by two points with seven seconds when Haliburton initiated the play from the other end of the square. He first penetrated the trail, but was cut off, so he tried to sprint behind the 3-point line to achieve a potential game with the game.

His prayer hit the back of the edge and previously jumped dramatically above the back board.

Haliburton celebrated by suffocating to mock the Knicks because he had blown a lead before pointing to the TNT -station Reggie Miller, who had made the celebration when he and the Pacers amazed the Knicks N game 5 of the Eastern Conference from 1994.

For Haliburton's surprise, however, his shot was ruled as two and the repetition confirmed that his foot was at stake. So the game was torn down by 125 and went to extra time.

The Pacers carried their dynamics into the extension to get a win of 138-135. In the additional period, the Knicks jumped out to a four-point advantage. But Andrew Nembhard replied with a 3 pointer and a quick layup to give Indiana the lead. The two teams exchanged baskets in the next two minutes before Nembhard made two other important pieces that helped Indiana.

First, he achieved a clever backdoor cut to record the Pacers 136-135. Then he jumped on the way to Jalen Brunson in front of an OG -anunoby pass and steered Brunson's fingertips.

Officials initially ruled the ball by Nembhard, but he was lifted during the review. New York did not like the call or Knick's Super-Fan Timothee Chalamet.

The Knicks tried to catch the Pacers after the following property, but their aggression led Obi toppin free for a game -sealed dark.

If the Pacers had lost overtime, Haliburton's celebration could have sinked as an embarrassing gesture. To defend it, it was a miracle that the Pacers made it until extension.

With 2:51, they stayed the Knicks at 14 in the fourth quarter before closing a 20: 6 run with Haliburton's shot at the age of 125.

However, this increase has created a completely new meaning for the word, comeback.

It started that Haliburton pulled and hit an apparently desperate 29-foot 3-point shot. Aaron Nesmith followed that with a catch-and-shoot 3 from the right wing. Then Pascal Siakam added a free throw to lower the edge to seven. It is important that the Pacers achieved three direct owners without having the kinks answered.
