What happened

The Pacers and Nets are so bad that even the fans aren’t having fun at their games.

Why it matters

During Thursday night’s 123-94 Pacers victory at the Barclays Center, just their second win in their last 25 games, a young couple was seen having what appeared to be a tumultuous conversation in the arena — and it is now going viral on social media.

Common ground

In a social media post, it appears that the woman, identified as Grace, gets upset with her boyfriend during an aggressive discussion.

Perspective signals
