The Western Conference playoff race came down to Wednesday night, with the Pelicans winning to capture the eighth seed and the Thunder falling just short. Thunder fans are sad. Russell Westbrook fans are sad. You know who's not sad?

Seattle fans! The city that lost its team to OKC couldn't be happier to see Clay Bennett's franchise falter. In fact, Sonics legend Shawn Kemp and a rapper named Neema co-hosted a party Thursday night to celebrate the occasion:

Bitter almost a decade later? Sure, but I get it. That's not gonna stop OKC from pilfering Seattle, though ...
