Heroes and zeros of the Knicks’ 138-135 Game 1 overtime loss to the Pacers on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden:

Aaron Nesmith pulled his best Reggie Miller impression, erupting for 20 points in the final five minutes of the fourth quarter as the Pacers mounted their huge comeback. 

OG Anunoby was quiet most of the night, and his missed free throw with 7.1 seconds left allowed the Pacers to tie the game with Tyrese Haliburton’s buzzer-beater. 

It’s not often Tyrese Haliburton is the unsung hero, but that’s what happens when Nesmith has such a historic night. He hit the game-tying shot in the final seconds of regulation.
