Pacers Robbed in Infamous NBA Game

'The Curse of the Garden: How the Pacers Were Robbed in Broad Daylight'

New York, May 30, 1994 – Game 5, Eastern Conference Finals

The air inside Madison Square Garden was thick with tension. The Indiana Pacers, a team built on grit and underdog spirit, had clawed their way back into the series against the vaunted New York Knicks. With seconds left in regulation, the score was tied 97-97. What happened next would go down as one of the most infamous moments in NBA playoff history—a heist so brazen, it still haunts Pacers fans to this day.

The Crime Scene

With 5.1 seconds left, Indiana’s Reggie Miller—public enemy No. 1 in New York—snatched the ball from Knicks guard Greg Anthony and sprinted downcourt. The Garden crowd gasped as Miller pulled up for a potential game-winning three. But before he could release the shot, Knicks guard John Starks crashed into him. No whistle. The ball clanked off the rim, and the game went to overtime.

But the real robbery was yet to come.

The Smoking Gun

In overtime, Pacers big man Antonio Davis appeared to make a clean block on a Charles Oakley layup—only for referee Hue Hollins to whistle a foul. Replays showed Davis had all ball. The call sent Oakley to the line, where he sank two free throws, sealing a 98-97 Knicks win.

Pacers coach Larry Brown erupted. 'We got screwed,' he barked in the postgame presser. The numbers backed him up: New York shot 37 free throws to Indiana’s 20.

The Cover-Up

The NBA, eager to keep its marquee market alive in the Finals, stayed silent. No apology. No admission of error. The Knicks went on to win the series in seven, advancing to face the Rockets. Meanwhile, the Pacers were left with a bitter taste—one that lingered for years.

The Aftermath

Miller and the Pacers would get their revenge in later years, but 1994 remains an open wound. To this day, fans argue: Was it incompetence… or something more?

One thing’s certain: in the shadows of Madison Square Garden, justice wasn’t just blind—it was wearing a Knicks jersey.
