All right. Woo. Coming up on the Zach Lowe show. I think that game happened. Nick spacers. Was that a fever dream? I think I was there. All my sights and sounds from the game analysis of the game. What happens going forward? And then my old buddy, John Hollinger, we start talking some interesting off season teams, fake trades, moments of tension that are coming up in July. Can't wait.
All coming up on the Zach Lowe show.
To the Zach Lowe Show. Oh, my God. I don't even know what happened. Chris Mannix from Sports Illustrated, you were three seats away from me on press row, and then you were gone, like so many other of our brethren. Gone.
To get a head start on getting to the locker room and getting down the slow elevators at MSG, probably around the time, I'm going to guess, where Jalen Brunson made a layup with 58.1 seconds left to put the Knicks up by nine points.
And then I don't really know what happened. I woke up at home. I got home somehow. Aaron Neesmith hit a thousand threes. Tyrese Halliburton hit an absolutely iconic shot that everyone thought was a three, except Kenny the Jetsmith, apparently. And it was a two. And even Tyrese Halliburton thought it was a three. And he wouldn't have made the choke sign if he thought it was a two.
And he told me after the game, he was a little chagrined. And I was like, well, at that point, you better win the goddamn game at overtime. He's like, yeah, I know. And the Pacers do it again. The win probability chart Pacers do it again. The Knicks collapse. The Pacers come back. I'm the only one, me and Mike Vorkanoff from the Athletic are the only ones left on press row.
And I turned to him and I swear to God, he'll verify it. When Ananobi goes to the line, Up, what are they, up one? I don't even, like, up one at the end of the game. I told him, I said, he's not going to make both. He's going to make one out of two. Halliburton sprints up and makes that shot. They win in overtime.
