Still, because Haliburton's foot was on the line, the Knicks could avoid making history if they could recover in overtime. Instead, it was much of the same as the Pacers kept rolling, with Andrew Nembhard doing most of the damage with seven points in the extra period.

Down 17 in the 4th and 14 with little more than 3 minutes remaining, Indiana rallies for the Game 1 victory over New York at MSG.

Game 1 between the Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks started out with a bang and ended with an even bigger one. The Pacers came back from a 14-point deficit to win 138- 135 in overtime. If this historical rivalry tells us anything, an incredible game should have been expected.
