Thinking he had won Wednesday’s game, Tyrese Haliburton unleashed the “choke” taunt made famous by Reggie Miller some 31 years ago.

Miller did the choking gesture toward director and rabid Knicks fan Spike Lee in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals between the Pacers and Knicks in 1994. He scored 25 points in the fourth quarter of that game to overturn a 12-point deficit at the start of the period and lead the Pacers to a 93-86 win.

Tyrese Haliburton's father may not have been inside Madison Square Garden for the Indiana Pacers' stunning comeback win over the New York Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, but John Haliburton still found a way to celebrate.
