Reliving Rik Smits’ Memorable Game-Winner

Reggie Miller’s heroics with the Indiana Pacers are well known. They’re what this site is actually named after — his 8 points in 8.9 seconds to finish off the Knicks, the famous choke sign to Spike Lee, on and on.

However, one of the greatest finishes in Pacers playoff history gets lost in the shuffle of Reggie’s heroics.

Game 4 against the Orlando Magic, with the Pacers down 2 games to 1. 3 different 3 pointers in the last 13.3 seconds (including one by Reggie Miller) tossed the lead dramatically back and forth, but with 1.3 seconds left, the Pacers decided to break the string, and go for the win from a little closer.
