Tyrese Haliburton was a bit premature after he mimicked Hall of Famer Reggie Miller¡¯s infamous ¡°choke¡± sign at Madison Square Garden.
Nevertheless, Haliburton and his Indiana Pacers teammates made certain the gesture didn¡¯t come back to haunt them in a 138-135 overtime victory over the New York Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals on Wednesday.
Haliburton scored 31 points and Aaron Nesmith added 30, highlighting an 8-for-9 performance from 3-point range by making five shots from long range during the final 3? minutes of regulation. That surge allowed the fourth-seeded Pacers to overcome a 14-point deficit in the final 2:39 of the fourth quarter.
