One fan tried to get his attention with a sign that read “Hey Spike, it’s deja vu all over.”
Lee briefly chatted with Miller, whose choke sign celebration directed at Lee in the 1994 playoffs was duplicated by current Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton after the Knicks coughed up a 14-point lead with under three minutes remaining in regulation before losing Game 1 of the series in overtime.
