Pacers rally late to stun Knicks in Game 1 of Eastern Conference finals

Tyrese Haliburton's mimicked "choke" sign at Madison Square Garden seemed premature but ultimately worked in his favor as the Indiana Pacers secured a thrilling overtime victory over the New York Knicks. The Pacers, trailing by 14 points late in the fourth quarter, pulled off an upset with 8-for-9 from beyond the arc, highlighted by Haliburton's decisive five 3-pointers in the final minutes. Scoring just shy of 32 points himself, he and Aaron Nesmith's contributions kept the Pacers afloat as they advanced to the Eastern Conference finals.
