Today in history: Reggie Miller makes a throat locking motion toward Spike Lee

24 years ago today, June 2, 1994, in the fifth game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pacers took on the Knicks away.

Reggie Miller scored 25 points in the final quarter to help the Pacers reverse the Knicks 93-86 to take a 3-2 lead in the series. It was also in this game that Miller made a "throat locking" action against Knicks die-hard Spike Lee, who was watching from the sidelines, which became one of the classic pictures of the NBA.

However, the Pacers lost two consecutive games and eventually lost 3-4 with a large score and missed the Finals.
