Extreme humiliation! Halliburton sent it directly to Towns in the last 0.2 seconds, even if it was thrown in, it wouldn t count

On May 22, in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals G1, the Pacers defeated the Knicks 138-135, leading 1-0 in the series. The game was also full of twists and turns. In the last 3 minutes of the game, the Knicks still held a 14-point lead, but then the Pacers counterattacked wildly, hitting three-pointers in succession from the outside. In the end, Halliburton equalized two points and dragged into overtime. In overtime, the Pacers did not miss the opportunity and successfully won the game. The Pacers once again staged a magical reversal, against the Bucks and the Cavaliers in the first round and against the second round, they both staged such a plot. This time it was the Knicks' turn, falling behind by 14 points in the last 3 minutes and 9 points in the last 1 minute. At that time, ESPN gave the Knicks' real-time winning rate was as high as 99.5%. Unexpectedly, the miracle happened again. Nesmith made three-pointers in a row, and Halliburton scored two points in the final (actually wanted three-pointers). Unfortunately, he stepped on the line, otherwise it would be even more shocking. In overtime, the Pacers did not let the opportunity slip away, but they still won the game.

And with 0.2 seconds left in the end of the game, the Pacers were 3 points ahead and still held the ball, and the Knicks had given up. At this time, Halliburton also staged a scene of extreme humiliation. He did not choose to pass the ball to his teammates, but actually passed the ball directly to Towns in front of him. The latter seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then threw the ball out directly.

Halliburton's actions also seem to have been questioned, but according to NBA regulations, even if Towns throws the ball into the basket, it is considered invalid. NBA rules stipulate that when the remaining time of the game is less than or equal to 0.2 seconds, only goals with "click" or "empty" are valid. Obviously, Towns' move did not meet the requirements, so when he took action, the referee on duty immediately made an invalid gesture.

Obviously, Halliburton is still very clear about this rule, so he ends the game in this way. Halliburton performed very well in this game, handing out a double-double with 31 points and 11 assists, and at the same time, he made the final shot to equalize the score in regular time. In fact, he went for the three-pointer to win that goal, and after making a cheque move, he also made a choke. Fortunately, they still won the game in the end, otherwise they might have been ridiculed.
