Reggie Miller's 8 Points in 9 Seconds Lead Pacers to Come-from-Behind Victory

Miller's Heroics Stun Knicks in Game 1

On May 7, 1995, Reggie Miller etched his name into NBA history with an unforgettable performance in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks. With the Pacers trailing by 6 points with just 9 seconds remaining, Miller unleashed a flurry of unprecedented shots that would cement his legacy as one of the greatest clutch shooters of all time.

Miller's first shot was a quick three-pointer to cut the deficit to 3 points. Then, after the Knicks failed to inbound the ball cleanly, Miller stole it and raced down the court for a layup, bringing the Pacers within 1 point. But Miller was not done yet. With just 1.6 seconds left on the clock, Miller once again found himself with the ball and sank another three-pointer, giving the Pacers an improbable 107-105 victory.

Miller's historic 8 points in 9 seconds sent shockwaves through the NBA. It was a performance that defied all odds and left the Knicks stunned. The Pacers would ultimately advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, where they eventually fell to the Orlando Magic in seven games.
