I think there is and will be plenty of OKC celebration. But the Pacers need their bookend. Showing the Pacers as they're setting up the court for the trophy celebration seems like a useful use of time.

I disagree. I think it's needed for the storytelling. It hurts to see it but God damn it was a heartbreaking way to lose. I think it would've been a disservice to that team and their story if they didn't get a proper wrap up. Even if it's sad.
