The Pistons, meanwhile, staved off elimination and forced a Game 6 against the Knicks by beating New York Tuesday night. The winner of that series will face the Celtics in the second round. Elsewhere, the Warriors are up 3-1 in the series against the Houston Rockets and the Minnesota Timberwolves lead the Los Angeles Lakers 3-1.

After a thrilling four quarters of regulation, the game needed five more minutes to be decided. Milwaukee jumped out to an early lead in overtime thanks to a scorching hot performance from Gary Trent Jr., but the Pacers crawled back to stay in the game.

It wasn't pretty, but it was enough. The Indiana Pacers have eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks 4-1 and will advance to the second rounds of the NBA playoffs. The win was supplied by, naturally, Tyrese Haliburton, who put the Pacers ahead with 1.3 seconds on the clock.
