Knicks Collapse in Game 1: Pacers Stun MSG with Historic Comeback

The Knicks were 2:51 away from taking a 1–0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals—then everything unraveled.
In this episode of Locked Up Sports, we break down one of the most shocking collapses in recent NBA playoff history. New York blew a 14-point lead in under three minutes, falling 138–135 to the Indiana Pacers at Madison Square Garden. Aaron Nesmith turned into Reggie Miller, burying seven three-pointers in the final moments to complete a Pacers comeback for the ages.
We analyze how the Knicks lost control, where the defense failed, how Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart performed, and what Tom Thibodeau needs to adjust before Game 2. Can the Knicks bounce back, or did Indiana just steal their soul?
