We Remember: 20th Anniversary of Reggie Miller Scoring 8 Points in 9 Seconds

Twenty years ago Thursday, Indiana Pacers star Reggie Miller stunned the New York Knicks with one of the greatest closing acts in NBA history.

With his team trailing 105-99 with less than 20 seconds remaining in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, Miller took over. The Pacers guard gave his team the lead by scoring eight points in a matter of nine seconds.

Miller, with the help of a steal, tied the game in just 5.5 seconds by hitting two quick three-pointers. Then, after the Knicks missed a pair of free throws, New York fouled Miller while he was grabbing a rebound. That's when he completed his incredible run by knocking down two free throws.

Eight points. Nine seconds.

Miller, who had been just 1-of-5 from downtown before this flurry of points, finished the game with 31 points.

Indiana pulled out an unbelievable 107-105 victory and went on to win the series in seven games.
