It remains one of the New York Knicks' last great moments. With under 12 seconds left in Game 3 of the 1999 Eastern Conference finals, Larry Johnson turned a 3-point New York deficit into a 1-point lead with one of the most famous shots in Madison Square Garden history.

The Knicks won the game 92-91 and went on to upset the Indiana Pacers in six games to advance to the NBA Finals, where they fell to the San Antonio Spurs.
