The Indiana Pacers have delivered an extraordinary playoff performance in the 2025 NBA postseason, achieving four comeback victories where they overcame deficits of at least 17 points. This feat makes them the first and only team in the Play-by-Play (PXP) era to accomplish four such comebacks in a single playoffs. Among these, a notable rally occurred in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Knicks, where the Pacers erased a 14-point deficit in the final minutes to take a 1-0 series lead. Key contributions included Tyrese Haliburton’s clutch shot that forced overtime and Bennedict Mathurin’s eight three-pointers.

The Pacers have won three road games this postseason after trailing by 15 or more points, a rare achievement matched only by the 2011 Dallas Mavericks, who went on to win the NBA title that year. Analysts and commentators have recognized the Pacers’ resilience, composure, and confidence under pressure as central to their historic run. Their comeback victories have been described as unprecedented in recent NBA history, with the team exhibiting a strong ability to perform in high-stress moments throughout consecutive playoff rounds.
