Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton nailed one of the most improbable shots against the New York Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Despite a massive lead by the Knicks in front of a New York crowd at Madison Square Garden, an improbable comeback by the Pacers changed the course of the series. Haliburton's shot got some serious help from a wild bounce on the rim and initially looked like a 3-pointer.
But after further review, even though Haliburton already used the Reggie Miller celebration, the shot was ruled a 2-pointer because of his foot placement.
Fortunately, fans got to see and hear Haliburton's unfiltered reaction to the entire sequence because he was wearing a microphone:

Haliburton was, at first, very excited about what he had just accomplished.
But then he was immediately disappointed in himself for not stepping back far enough for this shot to count as a 3-pointer.
However, during the overtime period, momentum stayed with the Pacers as Indiana completed the comeback.
