Aaron Nesmith's torrid fourth quarter came out of nowhere to haunt Knicks

Reggie Miller was on the sidelines, calling the game for TNT. But Aaron Nesmith possessed his aura on the court. 

Nesmith came back into the game when the Knicks were ahead by 13 points and there were five minutes remaining. In the following minutes, he managed to score 20 points by making six 3-point shots and two free throws. This incredible performance occurred in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter. Despite Nesmith’s outstanding efforts, the Knicks saw their lead disappear and ended up losing 138-135 in overtime to the Pacers on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. Notably, Nesmith did not miss any of his shots during the quarter.

He only had 10 points entering the fourth quarter. 

It brought back Knicks nightmares of Miller scoring eight points in nine seconds in Game 1 of the 1995 Eastern Conference semifinals. 

It was Tyrese Haliburton, though, who drilled the game-tying 2-pointer as time expired to send the game to overtime. 

The Knicks collapse was aided by brutal free-throw shooting — Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby both went just 1-for-2 at the line when the Pacers fouled them on back-to-back possessions with under 15 seconds remaining. 

The Pacers scored a combined 23 points in the final 3:14 of the fourth quarter — the most in that amount of time in playoff history in the play-by-play era. 

Then they finished the job in overtime, despite Nesmith missing the only shot he took.
