Twenty years ago, Reggie Miller was one of the most hated men in New York.

Thursday marks the 20th anniversary of Game 1 of the 1995 Eastern Conference semifinals, where Miller turned a 105-99 Knicks lead with 18 seconds left into a 107-105 Indiana Pacers victory.

After hitting the initial catch-and-shoot three, the highlight is stealing Anthony Mason's inbound pass, boldly retreating behind the arc, and hitting another one to tie the game.

Miller sealed the win with two free throws and the Pacers would go on to beat the Knicks in seven games. The eight points in nine seconds remains the calling card of Miller's Hall of Fame career as a brilliant sniper.
