The Knicks and Pacers threw haymakers at each other in Game 1. The Knicks led by double-digits in the fourth quarter, but Andrew Nembhard couldn’t stop hitting threes. The Pacers got the ball back down by two with the last possession of the game. Tyrese Haliburton stepped back, hit what he thought was a three and did a Reggie Miller type choke celebration. Little did he know, it was a two-pointer and we went to OT. It did not matter, however, as the Pacers carried over their momentum to OT and stole Game 1 138-135 on the road. Below are the opening odds for Game 2 on Friday.
