Jade Jones, whose boyfriend is Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton, had an animated exchange with Thunder fans during Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Jones made the trip to Oklahoma City to support her boyfriend — who made the game-winning shot in a major comeback to win Game 1 for the Pacers — and was seen on the broadcast standing and appearing to yell at fans around her at Paycom Center.
With the Thunder crowd wearing blue shirts provided for fans, Jones — sporting an all-black outfit with her credential — stuck out. Fans quickly noticed her on the broadcast and shared the video on social media.
Some NBA fans praised Jones' passionately supporting her boyfriend, calling her a "real one" in the replies. "Love it tbh… she standing on business for her man," said one fan.
Others, however, called her out. "Talking crazy when yo bf only had 5 points is insane," said one user, while another wrote, "Umm… she needs to sit down and mind her damn business!!"
The Thunder won the game and tied the series at one win a piece. Game 3 of the NBA Finals will take place at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indiana on Wednesday, June 11.
Haliburton and Jones started dating in April 2019 when they were both students at Iowa State University. She cheered for the Cyclones during her time at the school while Haliburton pursued basketball.
