  2. Nothing to see here just the Pacers coming back from down 7 in under a minute on the road

  4. *hands crossed over on neck in a choking motion by someone in a Pacers uniform*

  5. Hell of a game, exactly what the playoffs are all about. What a choke job but perfectly fitting when it comes to the Knicks and Pacers. You know it’s a great game when the game thread crashes and it’s only game 1 of a conference finals.

  6. Tyrese somehow simultaneously Kevin Durant’d it from the 2021 ECSF (Shoes just a little too big, causing a game winner to force OT) and Kawhi Leonard’d it from the 2019 ECF (Circus bounce that falls in) to end regulation there.

    Crazy shot to tie the game after being down 8 with 41 seconds to play and down 14 inside 3 minutes.

  7. APPARENTLY THE PACERS CAN KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS

    2025 NBA PLAYOFFS WITH ANOTHER ALL-TIME GAME

  9. The Pacers are so ridiculously to hard to close out. Clutch stops when needed and literally ANYBODY can turn into a blowtorch in seconds.

    #Hoping to see 7 games of cinemas like this one🔥

  10. They choked afterall lmao.

    Legendary performance by the pacers in the last 2:30 of regulation.

  12. Script writers are getting lazy. I keep watching the same Pacers playoff game

  14. Getting aurafarmed by Zoomer Reggie Miller lmao

    NYC might collapse because of riots instead of celebrations at this rate

  20. That was one of the craziest run that I’ve seen in the last couple of weeks. Pacers basketball does not disappoint. Hali you’re a fucking demon and if this game gets to game 7, it’s going to be a massacre. Shoutout to Toppin in the OT as well.

    Also this: [https://imgur.com/a/AY6TnRY](https://imgur.com/a/AY6TnRY)

  21. These mother fuckers just don’t die.

    Neismith just turning into the greatest basketball player of all time for the final 3 minutes of the 4th lmfao.

  23. As if this rivalry could not get more toxic. The fact that the Knicks choked tonight, with Halliburton putting his hands around his neck—while Reggie was announcing? It’s all surreal.

  26. Shout-out Nesmith, man. Can’t believe this is the same guy who was in Boston

  27. >Be Haliburton

    >Get called overrated by your peers

    >Hit a bunch of game deciding shots in the playoffs

    >Win and chill

  28. Nesmith’s run to close the 4th is going down as one of the all time great playoff moments

  29. PACERS COMEBACK DOWN 7 WITH 40 SECONDS LEFT VS BUCKS IN GAME 5

    PACERS COMEBACK DOWN 7 WITH 1 MINUTE LEFT VS CAVALIERS IN GAME 2

    PACERS COMEBACK DOWN 14 WITH 2:45 LEFT VS KNICKS IN GAME 1

  33. Can’t believe I just watched Tyrese Haliburton and Aaron Nesmith channel the spirit of Reggie Miller to shock the Knicks in MSG.

  36. I don’t think I’ve ever seen comebacks as good as what the Pacers have done. And you don’t even know if I’m talking about the Bucks game, the Cavs game, or the Knicks game….they were all once a decade type comebacks!! Pacers got my respect last year and they’ve sure as fuck kept it lmao. What a game.

  37. As a neutral fan, what a fucking game! I love watching these two teams, man

    Especially these Pacers tho. I’ve watched every playoff game so far with them and I feel so bad for their fans, this shit still has to be so stressful despite the wins LOL. All these games are fucking wild

  39. What even is this Pacers team bruh? This is the most power of friendship team I’ve ever seen in my life

  41. Gotta say, the Plot Armor Pacers are a lot more fun to watch when its not against your team

  42. Dude I’m literally fucking shaking that was so exciting and I don’t even give a shit who wins the series. That was absolutely insane.

    Inject six more of those type of games right into my veins.

  43. Bruh. This is what I’ve been saying since our series and it’s blatantly fucking obvious. *EVERYONE* VASTLY underestimated the Pacers. The entire league, our coaching staff, our players…

    Nah. The Pacers are fucking insane.

  45. I’m a 41 year old man that has a lot of positive things going on in my life and I still almost cried when the game ended
