[AI-Generated Summary] The Indiana Pacers have advanced to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2000, sparking a massive celebration throughout downtown Indianapolis. Leading up to the game, fans gathered along Pennsylvania Street and near Gainbridge Fieldhouse, expressing high spirits and a commitment to support the team with high energy and vocal intensity. As the victory became clear, New York Knicks fans were seen streaming out of the arena while local bars remained packed with cheering supporters. To manage the growing crowds, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department blocked off southbound Pennsylvania Street as the city prepared for a live celebration of the team's achievement.
