Description
The Indiana Pacers' run to the NBA Finals has been a thrilling ride for the team and its fans across central Indiana.
But for Pacers guard T.J. McConnell and his family, the championship chase carries deeper meaning.
McConnell's grandmother passed away last month while Indiana made its way through the playoffs.
"T.J. FaceTimed her and said goodbye, because he couldn't come back," McConnell's father, Tim, told 13Sports in Oklahoma City Friday, June 6.
