You can’t make this stuff up.

A little over 30 years after Reggie Miller scored eight points in 8.9 seconds to silence the Madison Square Garden crowd, the Pacers pulled off another miraculous comeback to stun the Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. 

Tom Thibodeau’s men were up 14 with 2:39 left, and up nine within the last minute. Remarkably, teams were 994-0 and 1,414-0 in those exact two scenarios in postseason history.

Teams are now 994-1 and 1,414-1 in the play-by-play era when maintaining such an advantage in the playoffs.

That’s how epic the Knicks’ collapse was.
