    In a dramatic Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Indiana Pacers overcame a 14-point deficit in the final minutes to defeat the New York Knicks 138–135 in overtime at Madison Square Garden.

    The New York Knicks suffered a heartbreaking 138–135 overtime loss to the Indiana Pacers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, despite holding a 17-point lead with just over six minutes remaining. A series of late-game turnovers, missed free throws, and defensive lapses allowed the Pacers to mount a historic comeback, culminating in Tyrese Haliburton's game-tying jumper and Aaron Nesmith's clutch three-point shooting.

    Segment 3: Timberwolves Seek Redemption in Game 2 Against Thunder
    After a lopsided 114–88 defeat in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, the Minnesota Timberwolves aim to rebound against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 2.
