Basketball: Indiana Pacers Rapid Comeback
In the 1990s, Reggie Miller was the focus of a racial smear campaign by New York Knicks supporters. And in the first game of the 1995 Eastern Conference playoffs, the smooth-shooting forward for the Indiana Pacers became a nightmare for the Knicks, scoring eight points in 11 seconds to propel Indiana to victory. Miller hit a three-point shot, intercepted the inbounds pass, then moved back beyond the three-point line to hit another three to tie the game with 18.7 seconds remaining. Miller got a rebound, was fouled, and made both free throws to give Indiana the victory after the Knicks missed two free throws and a shot to win it.

Baseball: Boston Red Sox Comeback Kings
The Boston Red Sox defeated the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series in 2004, becoming the first club in MLB history to come back from a 3-0 hole in a best-of-seven championship series. When the Red Sox faced Yankee closer Mariano Rivera in the ninth inning and trailed by a run, they were on the verge of being swept. They tied the game in the 12th inning when Dave Roberts stole second and scored on Bill Mueller’s single. Following that, the Red Sox went undefeated in the postseason, sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals in four games to win their first World Series since 1918.
