17 points big reversal! The big dark horse reappears in the plot: The whole game is silent, the surprise 8 three-pointer hits 30 points

On May 22, the G1 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals officially kicked off, with the Knicks playing against the Pacers at home. In this game, the Pacers came up and fired up all the time, and once took the initiative on the field, but then fell into a passive position. The Knicks established a lead and once took 17 points in the second half. However, the Pacers rushed to chase points in the last quarter and dragged them into overtime. In overtime, the Pacers did not miss the opportunity and finally defeated the Knicks 138-135, leading 1-0.

As the Pacers of the big dark horse, they also felt hot this time. They made all the first 9 shots, and directly shot more than 70% of the shooting percentage in the first quarter, but they failed to take the initiative. After that, the Pacers' feel declined, and the Knicks gradually took the initiative on the field, and relied on a 14-0 offensive to widen the gap in the second half, and once gained a 17-point lead. I thought the game would lose the suspense early, but I didn't expect the Pacers to appear again in a divine plot.

The Pacers had many magical reversals in the first two rounds, and this time they were staged again against the Knicks, when the Pacers fell into a passive position in the last quarter. Nesmith became the surprise, hitting three-pointers from the outside, and the gap was getting closer. In the entire fourth quarter, he made 6 three-pointers by himself, which made the Knicks' shot directly confused. With Anunobi making one of two free throws, Halliburton saw the chance to win, took a step back and took the ball. The ball bounced and fell into the net, and the whole game was silent.

Unfortunately, Halliburton's goal crossed the line and missed the opportunity to win directly, and both sides entered overtime. In overtime, the Pacers came up and missed the shot, but Nemhard stood up and made a three-pointer + breakthrough to help the team stabilize. After that, he took the initiative and finally won the victory. In this way, the Pacers once again staged a magical reversal plot and successfully got a good start to the Eastern Conference Final.

In this game, Smith became the absolute surprise. He played 38 minutes, made 9 of 13 shots, 8 of 9 three-pointers, and scored 30 points. Among them, he made 6 three-pointers and scored 20 points. Without him, the Pacers could not achieve a reversal. In addition, Halliburton also performed well, scoring a double-double of 31 points and 11 assists; Siakam scored 17 points and 6 assists, Turner scored 14 points, and Nemhard scored 15 points, and every player can contribute.
