Tyrese Haliburton's girlfriend, Jade Jones, posted a comforting photo of them on Tuesday, following the Indiana Pacers' 130-119 loss to the Toronto Raptors. The Pacers fell to 6-8 on Monday to start their three-game road trip.

Haliburton had a poor offensive performance with 16 points, three rebounds and four assists. The 6-foot-5 point guard shot 27.8%, including a lowly 22.2% from deep. Defensively, however, the All-Star guard had five steals and two blocks. Unfortunately for Indiana, that wasn't enough to beat the Raptors.

Following their loss, Jones posted a photo with a comforting four-word caption.

"Us against the world," Jones posted.

Tyrese Haliburton jokingly blames Steph Curry for his offensive struggles

Following the Pacers' loss, Tyrese Haliburton spoke to reporters about his struggles. Hali was high on his defensive performance but wants to see more of his shots go through the hoop.

"I just got to figure out how to win the game in other ways," Haliburton said following the Pacers' loss. "I felt like I turned it up defensively in (the) second half to help us win. I would love to make more shots, but that happens."

Haliburton then joked that Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry is to blame for his shooting inconsistencies. However, the results weren't what the Wisconsin native wanted.

"Honestly speaking, I'm probably gonna blame Steph, because he convinced me to try out pregame naps," Haliburton said. "Because I told him I don't nap, and he told me to try it out and text him after the game, see the result. So, he gonna get a text.

"No more pregame naps for Tyrese. But we figured out."

Hali and the Pacers will take on the Houston Rockets on Wednesday before ending their road trip on Friday. In the Emirates NBA Cup group stage, they will take against the Milwaukee Bucks.
