Unfortunately, Reggie Miller's first shot just bounced off the frame.
But the aggressively battling Dale Davis grabbed an offensive rebound.
He went up strong under the basket and banked it in on the second attempt, 2-0!
The Pacers started out very tough, and the performance of this bald squad was already enough to leave their mark in history.
Smits' mid-range shots, the two Davis' battling in the paint, the talented Jalen Rose, the steady Mark Jackson and the ever-energetic Reggie Miller will always be remembered.
The fans in Indiana believed that this was the best Pacers team of the '90s!
But the Hawks were not showing any weakness. When Roger passed the ball to Steve Smith, who had shaken off Reggie Miller, he confidently returned with a three-pointer and then pointed to the sky with both hands, "God, let Andy see the night we lift the trophy."
Since meeting Andy, every time Steve Smith made a three-pointer, he prayed, and he had prayed 122 times.
