After the Pacers' miraculous comeback against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday,
00:04
it's got people asking, is this the greatest playoff comeback of all time? Here's what you
00:09
need to know. Over the past 27 postseasons, teams were 0-970 when trailing by 14 or more
00:15
points in the final 250 of regulation. After last night, that record is now 1-970.
00:22
Since 1998, only four teams have overcome a 7-plus point deficit in the final minute of the fourth
00:28
quarter or overtime in a playoff game, and three of those comebacks have come from the Pacers this
00:33
year. They include the Game 5 win in the first round that sent Giannis and the Bucs packing,
00:38
the Game 2 win over the Cavs in the second round that led to this iconic Halliburton celebration,
00:43
and now this unbelievable win at MSG. Not only that, Tyrese Halliburton is on one of the best
00:50
clutch streaks in NBA history. This postseason, Halley has hit five of six shots taken to tie
00:56
or take the lead in the final 90 seconds of the fourth quarter or overtime. That's tied for the
01:01
most shots in a single postseason since 1997. The other players with five shots? LeBron in 2018,
01:08
Durant in 2012, Dirk in 2011, Ray Allen and Ben Gordon in 2009, and John Stockton in 1997.
01:16
The real hero of the night was Aaron Neesmith, whose six threes in the fourth quarter were the
01:21
most by any player in the play-by-play era. Of course, the other iconic Pacers comeback at
01:26
Madison Square Garden was Reggie Miller's legendary eight points in nine seconds, a moment Tyrese
01:31
paid homage to after hitting the game-tying shot at the end of the fourth quarter. Tyrese had this
01:36
to say about his celebration after the game. If I would have known it was a two, I would not have
01:42
done it. So I think I might have wasted it. If I do it again, then I might be, people might say I'm like
01:49
Aura Farming, so I'm not, I don't plan on using it again. So what do you think? Is this Pacers comeback
01:55
as good as Reggie Miller's? Let us know in the comments below. Remember to like the video and subscribe
