## Resource

This years Finals taught us a lot — not just about who won, but how teams are being built. And maybe more importantly, it reminded us why people care in the first place. For folks here in Indiana, this Pacers run was not just about the scoreboard. It brought people back. Text threads lit up. Old fans tuned back in. And across Indiana, you could feel basketball come alive again. In this episode of the AM Basketball Breakdown, I walk through what this Finals really meant — what it taught us about the Thunder, the Pacers, and the direction of the league.
