Just now! A 17-point reversal! Who is the winner of this game? The data will not lie!

In today's NBA Eastern Conference Finals' first game, the Pacers defeated the Knicks 138-135 away, leading 1-0 in the total score. This game is classic, with the Pacers achieving an amazing reversal when they were once 17 points behind, and Halliburton and Nesmith were undoubtedly key figures in the team's victory.

At the beginning of the game, the Pacers were in a hot state, and all the first nine shots were hit, catching the Knicks off guard. However, the Knicks quickly adjusted and took the lead 36-34 at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, the scores of both sides rose alternately, and at the end of the half, the Knicks led 69-62. After the start of the second half, the Pacers gradually narrowed the gap and fell only 3 points at the end of the three quarters.

In the crucial fourth quarter, the Knicks scored a 14-0 climax, instantly widening the score difference to 17 points. Just when everyone thought the suspense of the game was about to disappear, the Pacers launched a crazy counterattack. Halliburton hit a three-pointer, igniting the horn of counterattack. Then, like "Reggie Miller possessed", Nesmith made 6 consecutive three-pointers, scoring 20 points in a single quarter, with a real shooting percentage of up to 101.6%! In the last 34 seconds, he first hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner, narrowing the gap to 2 points, and then made both free throws to successfully equalize the score, creating an opportunity for Halliburton's tie.

The last 7.3 seconds of regular time, Halliburton made an extreme step-down jump shot, successfully dragging the game into overtime. This tie ball showed his calmness and strength, which made the audience excited. In overtime, Halliburton continued to play a key role, not only scoring by himself, but also giving away exciting assists, ultimately helping the Pacers secure the victory. Throughout the game, Halliburton contributed 31 points, 4 rebounds and 11 assists, while Nesmith scored 30 points with 8 of 9 three-pointers.

Looking back on the playoffs this season, the Pacers have made amazing reversals many times. In the first round of G5, they were still 7 points behind in the last 40 seconds, Halliburton led the team to a climax of 8-0, completing a 1.3-second quasi-final kill, eliminating the Bucks. In the Eastern Conference semi-finals G2, facing Mitchell's Cavaliers who scored 48 points, the Pacers fell 7 points in the last 47 seconds, and Halliburton completed a "1+3" quasi-final kill and took a 2-0 lead away. Now in the G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, they are backing the Knicks while falling 17 points behind. The reason why the Pacers were able to reverse multiple times is that in addition to Halliburton's outstanding performance at critical moments, the outbreak of role players such as Nesmith is also crucial. At the same time, the team's tactical execution and tenacious spirit are also the key to success. In the situation where the media generally disapproves, they have proved themselves with their strength again and again, which undoubtedly greatly enhanced the team's confidence.

For the Pacers, this victory was not only a good start to the Eastern Conference Final, but also a powerful proof of their strength and belief. I believe that in the next game, they will continue to maintain this resilience and fighting spirit and move towards higher goals. The Knicks need to seriously reflect on how to avoid wasting opportunities again. The next showdown between the two sides will surely be even more exciting, let's wait and see! #Reversal##Pacers#
