00:00No, I'm just, I'm excited.
00:21I knew, but I got fired because that guy was still in the free throw. I thought he found out.
00:28I think he left the turn. He left, I don't think he has enough fouls.
00:36He just made us a 50-man.
00:39Yeah, took him off.
00:51Yeah, I love it. Love it.
01:21I hope his dad is fine.

01:36Yeah, in a box seat or something.
01:39Yeah, I'm going to be somewhere.
01:43Well, he'll, he'll be fine. He, I think he's learned, he learned his lesson from dealing with Giannis, so...
01:52I hope so.
01:55But he's excited.

09:12It was 25 years ago that the Pacers went to the NBA Finals for the first time, beating
09:22the New York Knicks in six games, and now it's happened again.
09:27And the guy who scored 34 points in that clincher 25 years ago, I think you know his name, and
09:35usually you just call him by one.
09:37I think this is.
09:46Oh, yeah.
09:50And so we're going to have Reggie do the honors.
09:53Oh, Randy Miller.
09:55Yeah.
09:56And the Bob Cousy Trophy goes to the Eastern Conference champions, to Herb Silas, chairman
10:03and governor.
10:09Wow.
10:10How great.
10:11How short he is.
10:12Yeah.
10:13How great.
10:14How great.
10:15How short he is.
10:16Yeah.
10:17How long.
10:18How long.
10:19Well, I, I'll, I'll hold it.
10:27What you can say what you'd like, but go ahead.
10:30What's your first word?
10:32Well, I'll hold it, but you can say what you'd like, but go ahead, what's your first word?
10:4049 states, it's just basketball, but this is Indiana.
10:47I want to congratulate the Knicks on a great season.
10:54Tom Thibodeau has done a great job rebuilding that team.
10:57They caught a team that has been on a magical ride, and our guys earned this.
11:03Congratulations to our guys.
11:07I saw you with about 30 seconds to go on the sidelines, and I think I saw it the first time you've exhaled in this series.
11:17You just let it go, and you realized this was over.
11:22Describe to me the intensity that we saw for six days here.
11:26Well, this is as intense a series as you're ever going to have.
11:31It only goes six games, and we won seven games with these guys last year.
11:35And so, very difficult, very difficult series, but our work has just begun.
11:43There's that saying they're out of four times.
11:46Yeah.
11:47Playoff basketball is such a battle of will.
11:50They know what you want to do, you know what you want to do.
11:53Look at the pace.
11:54How did you do so decisively in the second half today, assert your will?
11:59Well, listen, I've got to give all the credit to the Gaybridge Fieldhouse fans.
12:04You guys listened to us all today.
12:08And look, our two star players, Tyrese Halliburton and Pascal Siakam, put our team on their backs,
12:16and they just decided that we were not going to lose this game today.
12:19Rick, congratulations.
12:21Good luck in the NBA Finals.
12:23Ernie, I just want to say congratulations to TNT on a fabulous, unbelievable run.
12:29It's coming to an end.
12:34We're all very sad about that, but you're being a great class.
12:38Congrats.
12:39Thank you so much, Rick.
12:40I appreciate you.
12:41This, um, this is the Larry Bird Trophy.
12:52Yeah.
12:55It goes to the MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals, and that MVP is Pascal Siakam.
13:04Oh, my God.
13:05Oh, man.
13:07I'm okay with that.
13:09Everybody thought it would be Tyrese Halliburton, but I'm okay with that.
13:15I'm okay with Pascal.
13:18Yeah, he played well.
13:20Let's go.
13:25All right.
13:26Look.
13:30We talked about the way this series has gone, and your big games, and we said, well, it figures
13:36this is the number game, you're going to be big tonight, and you were.
13:41How did you get this done tonight to move on to the finals?
13:46First of all, shout-out Indy, man.
13:54It's been such an amazing experience for me so far.
13:57From the first day I landed here, like, the love has been amazing.
14:00Chad, KP, just unbelievable, man.
14:04Like, you know, first class organization.
14:05I'm just so happy to be here.
14:08And tonight, you know, after a bad game, bad game five, we wanted to bounce back.
14:12And I have, like, 100% belief, my teammates, whenever we're down, you know, we always find
14:17a way.
14:17And we did that tonight.
14:18We know the pieces that you need to play well and just succeed in this game, but, and then
14:28tonight, sometimes the unexpected happens, and sometimes Thomas Bryant catches fire from
14:35deep.
14:37Yeah, Thomas, yeah!
14:39Thomas, you know, I think, uh, Thomas Bryant, I think, you know, he was, he was up and
14:49down, you know, sat down, and one of the things that he did, you know, when he was sitting
14:53down, he was the best guy on the bench, cheering for everyone, um, he lost his minutes, and he
14:58kept cheering for everyone, um, you know, that's, that's basketball, the basketball gods, you
15:04know, repay for when you're acting, that type of teammate, and, um, he was so laser-focused
15:08tonight, and, and help us with the game, though.
15:10You're not going to have to worry about any questions about, uh, the team trying harder
15:15than you did tonight, because it was obvious, man, you guys did a great job.
15:19Congratulations.
15:25Hey, could I get, could I get Miles Turner to come up here for one moment?
15:34He's good.
15:35Yeah.
15:36Uh, look, you are the, uh, the longest tenured member of this group, ten seasons wearing
15:43this uniform, and now you're going to the NBA Finals, man, tell me, tell me what that
15:50does for you.
15:51That's, whoo, man, it's been a long time coming, man, come on.
15:57Man, I just, first of all, man, I'm having a few shouts at the Simon's, man, never stopped
16:01believing in me, not all this organization, it's amazing.
16:04He's coming.
16:05He's coming.
16:05I'm the third of my life here, man.
16:06He's coming.
16:07I'm just, I've really grown up here with y'all.
16:09And, um, it's so validating just, uh, to get this in this fashion against, uh, one of
16:15our rivals, 25 years later, and, um, I'm just excited for what's next, man.
16:19We've got four more.
16:19Yes.
16:20Congratulations, good luck in the Finals.
16:24He likes a lot, but I'm sure to see you.
16:27Uh, so, folks, here are your Eastern Conference champions going to the NBA Finals.
16:33The Indiana Pacers.
16:37Thank you very much as you've joined us here at the table.
16:44Eastern Conference champion, Indiana Pacers.
16:48No, it depends on that.
16:49In six, beat the New York Knicks, four games to two.
16:54No.
16:55And 25 years, right, the last time they were in this position, you were on that team.
17:03When we clinched, it was in New York, so we didn't have the luxury of doing it in one
17:08of our own sporting crowd, which this place is absolutely electric.
17:13Bring on OKC.
17:15Bring them.
17:16We had the opportunity to fly back and had a thousand people waiting on us at the airport,
17:18which was cool.
17:19But to do it in front of this home base, and I think Coach Conwell said it right,
17:25in 49 other states, it's just basketball.
17:27But this is Indiana.
17:28It means so much for this state to have the opportunity to win four more games, possibly, and win a championship.
17:37It's just tremendous.
17:40Well, as most of you know, this will be the final season that TNT is broadcasting the NBA.
17:4636 years, been doing it.
17:49Allie LaForce has joined us at our table, and she's been a big part of this, and terrific job again tonight.
17:55It's been one of the greatest joys of my life, and I have to say personally and professionally,
17:59I've been so elevated by my teammates.
18:01So for everyone that set the stage before us, and for everyone that will take the torch now, thank you.
18:07The great thing about live television is it does live forever.
18:12So we will live forever, and so will the memories I have with you.
18:15So thank you so much for the camaraderie and the teamwork, gentlemen.
18:18What a pro.
18:19And congratulations, by the way.
