Not Nesmith, not Halliburton, Pacers win, I should really thank the Great Nuclear Brunson

On May 22, with Towns' overtime three-pointer missed, the Pacers created a miracle. They fell behind by 14 points in the last three minutes and were bitten by Nesmith's 6 three-pointers. Then at the last moment, Halliburton made a long-range two-pointer that crossed the line. Through the overtime competition, the Pacers finally completed the reversal and defeated the Knicks 138-135. However, the Pacers' most grateful for their victory in this game was not Nesmith, not Halliburton, but Knicks's big ball-holding core Brunson. In this game, Brunson contributed 43 points, 1 rebound and 5 assists in the whole game, made 15 of 28 shots, and 1 of 6 three-pointers, but made 7 mistakes, especially in overtime.

Looking back at the fourth quarter of this game, many fans also believed that the game had lost suspense. In the last three minutes, the scores of both sides had 14 minutes. To smooth out the score, in addition to constantly making counterattacks, the Knicks also needed to contribute mistakes. In 29.9 seconds of the game, the score between the two sides was 118-123 and 5 points. Brunson took the ball into the inside and then passed it to Anunobi at the basket. Anunobi made a mistake in receiving the ball. After the referee repeatedly played the video, he did not foul the Knicks. The Pacers passed this ball, Nesmith continued to shoot three-pointers and stopped the game. It was this three-pointer that became the key to entering overtime.

At the 2nd minute and 26th minute overtime, Brunson made a mistake in receiving the ball, Siakam and Hart competed for the ball, and the Pacers grabbed the ball, and the result was that the offensive round. Nembhard directly took Brunson alone and scored two points, and the score overtook again. Then Brunson made another mistake in the Knicks offensive round. Brunson scored 4 free throws in Germany's two offensive rounds. Halliburton missed the three-pointer, and Topped directly dunked. The score reached 126-125, and the Pacers led by 1 point.

Brunson then made a throw-in, Halliburton assisted Nemhard to make a layup, and in the last 25 seconds, Brunson made a mistake in receiving the ball, the referee judged the Knicks' ball, the Pacers challenged, Brunson obviously encountered the ball, and the Knicks made another mistake. The Pacers seized this opportunity to kill and quickly hit the basket and dunked. Bridges was even suspected of foul.
