0: 970 is the oldest! The dark horse breaks the NBA 27 record, with a 99.7% winning rate, and the first result of the three players

On May 22, 2025, the NBA playoffs were in full swing, and today the Eastern Conference arranged for the Knicks to play against the Pacers at home. Both teams performed extremely well in this year's playoffs. The Pacers defeated the Bucks 4:1 in the first round and eliminated the Cavaliers, the number one in the East, 4:1 in the second round. The Knicks defeated the Pistons 4:2 in the first round and eliminated the defending champion Celtics 4:2 in the second round. The meeting between these two teams is also full of highlights. They have super defenders Harry Potterton and Brunson in charge, and the collision between the two teams will surely spark fiercely.

Although the Knicks were at home today, they were once led by 17 points in more than 6 minutes in the fourth quarter. But with the outbreak of the Pacers Nesmith and Halliburton, dragging the game directly into overtime, and finally Nembhard performed well in overtime, helping the team to beat the Knicks 138:135 to a good start, the Pacers also broke the playoff record in nearly 27 years. The Knicks' winning rate at the end of the fourth quarter was as high as 99.7%, but they were turned around. The Pacers' three players made an indelible contribution.

The two teams went all out in this game. The Knicks had a natural advantage at home. With more than 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter, they were once led by 17 points. However, then the Pacers' Nesmith suddenly broke out. He hit 6 three-pointers in a row, which allowed Harry Potton to make a buzzer-beater at the last moment, and the big two-pointer scored to tie the score and finally entered overtime. In overtime, Nembhard broke out again and the team finally won the victory. In terms of basic data, the Pacers rebounded 39:46, assisted 26:24, steals 6:7, blocked 3:8, turnovers 7:15, free throws 21:28, three-pointers 15:11, fouls 24:23, shooting percentage 51% to 51%, free throw percentage 75% to 70%, and three-point shooting percentage 41% to 32%.

In this game, the Knicks, who played at home, also fully utilized their "explosive free throws", and scored 40 free throws in the game, hitting 28 of them, with a shooting percentage of up to 70%. The core player Brunson made 12 free throws with 14 free throws, and forward player Towns made 9 free throws with 11 free throws. Unfortunately, the Knicks still lost. On the contrary, the Pacers on the opposite side scored 28 free throws in the game and hit 21, which was also quite good. In this game, the Knicks head coach still used 8 players to rotate, among which Payne only got 9 minutes of playing time, which means that the other 7 players played for a long time. Outside player Brunson played for 37 minutes, made 12 of 25 shots, 1 of 6 three-pointers, and 12 of 14 free throws, contributing 43 points, 1 rebound, 5 assists, 7 turnovers, and 5 fouls. He has also become the seventh time in the history of the team to score 40 points and 5 assists. The other players only have 4 times. It can be said that they are trying their best but it is difficult to win. Towns contributed 35 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 11 of 17 shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers and 9 of 11 free throws, which is quite outstanding. Bridges contributed 16 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, Anunobi scored 16 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and Hart scored 8 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists. The Pacers' most courageous performance was Nesmith. In this game, he made 6 three-pointers in the last 4 minutes and 50 seconds. He finally played for 38 minutes, made 9 of 13 shots, 8 of 9 three-pointers, and made 4 free throws, scoring 30 points, 2 rebounds and 2 blocks. It was precisely because of his consecutive three-pointers in the second half of the fourth quarter that Harry Potton had the opportunity to give a fatal blow, Nesmith could be said to have made an indelible contribution.

In the NBA's playoff history for nearly 27 years, among the teams that were still 14 points behind in the last 2 minutes and 50 seconds of regular time in the fourth quarter, the final game record was 0 wins and 970 losses. With 2 minutes and 50 seconds left in the end of the quarter today, the Pacers were 14 points behind at 105:119, but with their crazy offense, they finally won by overtime reversal, allowing the 0:970 data to pass away.

The star Harry Potton played for 42 minutes, made 12 of 23 shots, made 4 of 12 three-pointers, and made 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 31 points, 4 rebounds and 11 assists. In the last offense, he stepped on the three-point line and made a big two-pointer, finally tied the score and dragged it into overtime.

Nembhard broke out completely in overtime and finally played for 35 minutes, making 6 of 16 shots, contributing 15 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. The Pacers' excellent performance on the back of the back today is the key reason why they beat the Knicks.
