Throwback Video of the Day - 8/22/12

Today's Throwback Video of the Day goes back to Game Five of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Nets were coming off possibly their best season in the NBA and were the #1 seed and were facing the #8 seed Indiana Pacers led by Reggie Miller and Jermaine O'Neal. It was a long grueling series that came down to the final 5th game, this was the last year that the first round would have a best of five series. The Pacers looked to make a surprising upset as the Nets hoped to win their first playoff series in franchise history. This epic double overtime game contained one of the most memorable shots ever, as Reggie Miller drilled a prayer to send it to overtime. The Nets would take the victory with a score of 120-109 and advance to the second round for the second time in their history, and eventually make their first trip to the Finals, where they would be swept by the Los Angeles Lakers. Reggie Miller finished with 31 points, Jason Kidd finished with 31 points and 7 assists.
