Knicks choke away double-digit lead late after Pacers pull off Reggie Miller-esque heroics

Fox News Flash top sports headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com.

With Reggie Miller on the call, the Indiana Pacers paid homage to their franchise legend on Wednesday night.

Well, it wasn't a direct homage -- but the New York Knicks, in their first Eastern Conference Finals game of the 21st century, blew a double-digit fourth-quarter lead to drop Game 1 against Indiana, 138-135.

New York led by as many as 17 with just over six minutes to go, and even by 14 with less than three, but it was no match for the Pacers.

Aaron Nesmith did his best Miller impression by drilling six consecutive three-pointers to help Indiana cut their deficit to just two points with 22.1 seconds to go. After the Knicks, on two occasions, went 1-for-2 from the line, Tyrese Haliburton hit a buzzer-beater that he thought was a three and did Miller's infamous choke signal while pointing at him. But, Haliburton's toe was on the line, and the game headed to overtime.

New York got out to a four-point lead to start overtime, but a 5-0 Pacers run gave them their first lead since it was 45-44 in the second quarter. Neither team got out to more than a one-point lead for the next two-plus minutes, until former Knicks forward Obi Toppin slammed one home with 15.3 seconds left to go up three. The Knicks missed two game-tying threes, and the Pacers stole the victory.
