After trailing by as many as 20, and by seven with less than 40 seconds to play, the Pacers stormed back to take Game 5 of their first-round series, 119-118 in overtime.

The Indiana Pacers guard spearheaded his team's stunning comeback to eliminate the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round for the second consecutive season. He scored five straight points in the last 17 seconds of overtime, including two on the game-winner, as the home team closed on an 8-0 run to win 119-118 and clinch the series 4-1 in five games.

Doc Rivers appeared poised to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to an emotional victory on Tuesday, taking a late lead against the Indiana Pacers that would have overcome the loss of Damian Lillard to extend their NBA playoff series. Then it all fell apart in the final 40 seconds.
