The New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers reached the Eastern Conference finals by virtue of a record number of ridiculous comebacks. That bore out in Game 1.
On Wednesday, it was the Knicks yielding a late lead to a furious Pacers surge, then falling 138-135 in overtime to complete one of the most stunning games of an NBA playoffs that had already set a high mark for drama.
New York led by as many as 17 points in the fourth quarter and by eight with a minute and a half to go.
