Ty Halliburton was clearly frustrated.
During the second quarter of Wednesday night’s game, after deflecting a pass from Knicks’ OG Anunoby, the Pacers star couldn’t manage to recover the loose ball. He expressed his displeasure toward actor Jon Hamm, who managed to scoop it up before going out of bounds.
Halliburton voiced his complaints to the nearest referee, while Hamm appeared quite pleased with himself.
Hamm was one of several celebrities in attendance at the Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals held at Madison Square Garden.

Alongside Hamm were other notables like Timothy Chalamet, Martha Stewart, and “Curb Your Enthusiasm” stars Larry David and Susie Essman, though they didn’t seem as engaged in the events on the court as Hamm.
Halliburton was making an impact for the Pacers, contributing six assists, three rebounds, and a team-high 14 points in the first half alone.
With an average of 17.5 points and 9.3 assists during the postseason, he has played a key role in leading the Pacers to their second consecutive conference finals appearance.
By the time they entered the third quarter, Indiana was trailing by seven.
