As a data-driven storyteller raised in Chicago’s multicultural fabric, I’ve watched how the loudest victories hide the quietest struggles. In Pacers’ 108-91 win over Thunder, the real story isn’t in the stats—it’s in the silence between plays, the uncredited minutes, the forgotten bench players who carried the weight. This isn’t just basketball. It’s a mirror to our obsession with visibility. We must learn to see beyond box scores.
