In the Wednesday evening, the teams, which led in the last 2:45 a.m. of the fourth quarter, were at least 14 points since play-by-play tracking played in 1997-98 994: 0.

After the kink's overtime loss against the Pacers, these teams are now 994-1.

Before the comeback could start, New York had to take on a significant lead. From the Star Guard Jalen Brunson, the Knicks went to the bench with his fifth foul.

This run was interrupted by a Peak New York sequence: a robust defensive stop that led to a layup at the other end.

Indiana's comeback really started seriously at 4:45 a.m. on the Wachmann Aaron Nesmith his first 3 pointer in the quarter to reduce the lead to 113-101.

After the teams had acted, Nesmith only scored three balls in the next two possessions with 3:14, only Brunson and Tyrese Haliburton.

With 2:04 in the regulation, Nesmith scored his third 3 ball in the quarter to make it a 119-111 game.

Nesmith was far from finished. After a free throw from Pascal Siakam and a Brunson Layup, NESMITH tied again from Deep to do it 121-115 with 51 seconds.

The Knicks got a small room with a Karl-Anthony Town hook, except that at this point in time Nesmith was in a different aircraft and hit his and hit his fifth-Especially 3-pointer to make it a 5-point game with 34 seconds before the end.

At that time, one would expect New York to literally shoot everyone else on the Pacers. But after sales on the following Knicks ownership, Nesmith shook away – thanks partly in part of a Josh Hart -Stolper – for his sixth Deep Shot of the Footh and did 123-121 with 22.1 seconds.

The next 15 seconds of the game were transformed into a free business competition that New York lost. In the next three possessions, the Knicks 2-of-4 went from the foul line, while Indiana 2-of-2 went. (Advise who has hit the pressure of the pressure. Nesmith!)

This meant that the Pacers only remained 125-123 with around seven seconds, and this was set up by Haliburton's Boncher's that tried to win the game with three, only so that his toe was up to date.

New York still had the mental strength of taking the lead in overtime early and opening a 4-point advantage in just over three minutes. However, this deficit was not for the Pacers who immediately stormed back.

The defining route came in the last minute of overtime when Indy remained twice at 1, but both times after a nice ball movement.
