Pacers' Game 1 hero's girlfriend takes shot at Knicks after playoff collapse
Paul Pierce breaks down the Indiana Pacers’ dramatic comeback win over the New York Knicks in Game 1. He analyzes key moments and what this victory means for the series.
The New York Knicks were not safe from getting trolled by the Indiana Pacers' superstar, or his girlfriend, after their epic Game 1 collapse.
The Knicks blew a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter to lose Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Wednesday. They had also led by 14 with 2:50 to go, and nine with under 60 seconds.
All they've done since then is now lose at home again to trail 2-0 in the series. Nobody has ever won a conference final after losing the first two games at home.

But back to Game 1. After storming all the way back, Tyrese Haliburton chucked up a long shot that hit the back iron and dropped in. With former Pacers hero Reggie Miller just feet away, calling the game for TNT, Haliburton mimicked Miller's signature choking signal he directed at Spike Lee back in the 1990s.
Haluburton's shot wound up being a two, putting the game into overtime, but the Pacers came away with the victory.
After the game, Haliburton's girlfriend, Jade Jones, joined her boyfriend to take her own shot at the Knicks.
"finally got to see the ball drop in NYC," she posted on Instagram with a smirking emoji.
