The memories came flooding back for Derek Harper.
The frustration. The anguish. The heartbreak.
Harper was in Los Angeles preparing to work Game 5 of the Clippers-Mavericks opening-round series as Game 5 of the Knicks-76ers series was unfolding.
As Tyrese Maxey forced overtime with seven of his 46 points in the final 25.1 seconds of regulation and the Knicks failed to close it out in overtime, Harper couldn’t help but think back to May 7, 1995, the day Reggie Miller scored eight points in 8.9 seconds.
“It was all negative thoughts, really surreal going over it again,” the former Knicks point guard recalled in a phone interview with The Post. “It wasn’t pleasant at all. I really got goose bumps, I’m not going to kid you. [Tuesday] night, I got goose bumps, and they were from a bad place.”
