In a dramatic Game 1, Tyrese Haliburton led the Pacers from a 111-98 deficit with a 27-14 run, scoring 12 points in the final five minutes. With seven seconds left, Haliburton’s buzzer-beater initially appeared to secure the win but was later ruled a two-pointer, tying the game at 125-125 and sending it to overtime. The Knicks, who lost their lead due to poor offensive execution, ultimately fell to the Pacers, 138-135, putting Indiana in a strong position for the series thanks to Haliburton’s late-game heroics.
