Reggie Miller Game Winner vs Bulls in 1998 Eastern Conference Finals
Спорт
May 25, 1998 - Down 2-1 in the series and trailing by 1 with just under 3 seconds left, the Pacers looked to Reggie Miller for another miracle, and he delivered. On the in-bounds pass, Miller executed the catch-and-shoot to perfection as he hit the go-ahead three pointer with under a second on the clock. Following a timeout, the Bulls looked to their leader in Michael Jordan and he barely missed a buzzer-beating shot of his own that would’ve given Chicago a victory and a 3-1 series lead.

The most memorable thing from this game is not Reggie Miller's game-winner. It's not Jordan's near-game-winner. It's Larry Bird standing emotionless while everyone else in the arena celebrated, concerned for what Jordan could do with that much time left.

Even after the game was over Larry was not cheering and screaming. It just shows how much respect he has for Jordan, and his realization that they almost lost that one. I can imagine Larry to Miller in the locker room… “Next time don’t you ever leave more than 0.1 seconds on the clock. He almost beat us with half a second on The clock…. Oh and get ready for the next game, Jordan is going to destroy you now.”

This is the best Pacers team ever. Took a legendary dynasty to the limit. If it was against anyone else, they would’ve gone on to win the title. But that’s what happens when you play the greatest of all time, there is just simply no margin for error. The worst part is, they had the Bulls on the ropes in Chicago (in game 7), but the second quarter of that game absolutely killed them.

As a Knicks fan this is what made 1999 so special for me. Pacers were kinda riding high in their eyes after taking the Bulls to the brink almost winning. They figured with the Bulls ending their run with MJ retiring and Pippen n company getting traded off 99 would be their year to go to Finals. But out of nowhere their old nemesis the Knicks came and upset them to go to Finals. Pacers did get the Knicks back the next year to go to Finals but 99 was still sweet.

You see how clean that hit the net? That was the grandfather of all splashes.
Birds face says it all he knew it wasn't over & MJ still almost hit that shot
Jordans shot almost went in tho this series was the most scariest series I’ve ever seen as a diehard bulls fan Reggie Miller was going ham in on the nba in 98 and he got Jaylen Rose & CHRIS MULLIN THAT YEAR with Larry Bird as the head Coach but I’m not gonna a lie PIPPEN WAS HAVING BACK PROBLEMS AND TONI KUCOC RODMAN KERR SAVED OUR DREAMS
"Give Michael a bump" that was a full on shove lol. Reggie was my favorite player growing up
Bird knew Michael Jordan was on the other side, and the Bulls still had time 😂 Thats why he wasn't smiling he was looking at the clock like damn
The Pacers have given both LeBron and Jordan hell in the playoffs. Indiana has always been a sleeper team in the postseason.
