Tyrese Haliburton was mad, man.
After deflecting a pass from the Knicks’ OG Anunoby in the second quarter on Wednesday night, the Pacers’ star guard was unable to collect the loose ball, blaming “Mad Men” star Jon Hamm for grabbing the ball before it was officially out of bounds.
Haliburton complained to the nearest official, as Hamm smiled with delight.
Hamm was one of the many A-list celebrities on hand for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals at the Garden.

Timothee Chalamet, Martha Stewart and “Curb Your Enthusiasm” stars Larry David and Susie Essman were among those along celebrity row, though none were as involved in the action as Hamm.
Haliburton led the way for the Pacers in the first half with a team-high 14 points with six assists and three rebounds.
He’s averaged 17.5 points and 9.3 assists in this postseason, the second straight in which the Pacers have reached the conference finals.
Indiana trailed by seven going into the third quarter.
