Indiana leads New York 1–0 in the Eastern Conference finals thanks to a historic, late fourth-quarter and overtime stretch to stun the MSG crowd.

Game 1 of the 2025 Eastern Conference finals between the Indiana Pacers and the New York Knicks will be remembered by basketball fans for a long time after one of the most unbelievable comebacks in NBA history.

This might not be the conference finals matchup that many expected, but that just makes things all the more interesting.

For a second year in a row, the Indiana Pacers are back in the Eastern Conference Finals. No one thought we would be here again — especially not after Indiana's slow start to the season.

In my house, as Tyrese Haliburton's game-tying shot hit the back of the rim, bounced 10 feet in the air, then fell softly through the net, I yelled "Are you kidding me" so loudly my family rushed into the room to make sure I was okay.

The Pacers have two of these wins ... and likely a knockout punch from one of these stars to advance to the NBA Finals.
