The Indiana Pacers are on their way back to the playoffs this season, probably, although exactly where they land remains up in the air. Indiana is currently the sixth seed, two games ahead of the nine seed and three games out of the five seed.
Playoff dreams stirred some memories in Indiana, specifically of Reggie Miller’s banked three in the 2002 playoffs against the Nets to force overtime.
Two current Pacers, C.J. Miles and Georges Niang, tried to recreate Miller’s shot. Which turns out is fun to watch.
Remember when @ReggieMillerTNT banked a 3 to send it to OT in the 2002 Playoffs?@masfresco and @GeorgesNiang20 recreate the #Pacers50 play. https://t.co/8x0tEOlfqq
