The Indiana Pacers evened things up.
Following a disappointing outing in Game 1, Rick Carlisle’s team fired on all cylinders in Game 2, stealing homecourt advantage.
Now, the series will head to Indianapolis for the next couple of games, and Tyrese Haliburton knows the fans will be ready to become a factor.
That’s why he didn’t waste the opportunity to take a shot at Milwaukee Bucks fans, stating that they’ve had regular-season games at home in which the crowd was louder than they’ve been in Milwaukee (Via NBA TV & Rachel Nichols).

It’s not much of a surprise to see that these two teams don’t like each other.
The Pacers dominated the Bucks in the regular season, and they even knocked them out of the In-Season Tournament.
Then, they had a bit of a scuffle with Giannis Antetokounmpo, refusing to give him the basketball after his career-best performance.
Also, the Bucks don’t necessarily have the loudest or biggest fan base in the league, as they play in a small market.
Of course, Haliburton is trying to stir the pot and win the mental battle as well.
He’s been a non-factor offensively through the first two games of the series, with his scoring totals taking a significant dip.
Pascal Siakam and Damian Lillard have gone back and forth with some impressive scoring performances, and it’ll be interesting to see who ends up on top here.
The Pacers have the better coach and home-court advantage, but the Bucks have the better team, so this will be tough to predict.
