No NBA team has ever lost a game when leading by 14 points with only 2:51 remaining. Since the Knicks lead the Pacers by 14 points, and there's only 2:51 remaining, the Knicks will win the game.

Is the flaw possibility = certainty? Please let us know! Knicks in 7 btw :)
@Embee_24 tonyliv got it below! The premises establish that something hasn't happened before. Does that prove it can't happen in the future? No! Just as we saw in Game 1, even though no team had ever lost when up 14 with only 2:51 left...the Knicks lost.
Assuming that an event cannot occur simply because it hadn't occurred in the past.
Assumes without warrant that because no NBA team has ever lost a game when leading by 14 points with only 2:51 remaining the Knicks will win by leading with 14 points with only 2:51 remaining. (Is this like a circular reason? I just started the flaw section lol)
