**Pacers Edge Past Knicks in Game 4, One Victory from NBA Finals: Fans Celebrate with Confetti and Confusion**
In a thrilling Game 4 that had more twists than a pretzel factory, the Indiana Pacers managed to squeak past the New York Knicks, leaving them just one victory away from the NBA Finals. The final score was 112-111, but the real victory was for anyone who managed to stay awake through the last five minutes of the game without needing a caffeine IV.
Pacers’ star player, Reggie “I’m Not Related to the Other Reggie” Miller, scored a game-winning three-pointer that had fans screaming louder than a toddler in a candy store. “I just wanted to make sure my mom could finally stop asking me when I was going to get a real job,” Miller quipped after the game, clearly still riding the high of his unexpected success.
Meanwhile, Knicks coach Tom “I Thought We Were Playing Soccer” Thibodeau was left scratching his head. “I told the team to shoot for the stars, but I didn’t mean literally! I thought we were going to win by at least 20 points,” he lamented, while simultaneously Googling “How to coach a basketball team.”
Fans in Indiana celebrated the victory by throwing confetti made from old game tickets and chanting, “We’re one step closer to a championship, or at least a really nice participation trophy!” Local resident and self-proclaimed basketball expert, Larry “I Once Played in High School” Johnson, added, “If we win the Finals, I’m getting a tattoo of the Pacers’ logo on my forehead. My wife is going to love that!”
As the Pacers prepare for Game 5, the Knicks are left wondering if they should just start practicing their golf swings instead. After all, it’s not like they’ll be playing in June.
