Game 2 of the NBA finals between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder was intense on the court, but it was a courtside moment that took everyone’s attention. Cameras spotted Tyrese Haliburton’s girlfriend, Jade Jones, getting into a heated exchange with the Thunder fans as the Pacers struggled early in the game.
The Thunder’s 19-2 run before halftime gave them a commanding lead, and the crowd inside Paycom Center was electric. Even as the pacers fell behind, Jones kept the energy high on her end. According to Sports Illustrated, the live broadcast briefly cut away from the game to show her spirited reaction.
Jones, a former Iowa State cheerleader, sat near the thunder bench wearing a navy crop top, tennis skirt, and a white sweatshirt. As Oklahoma City built a big lead in the second quarter, Jones didn’t hold back. She, leaning forward, animatedly responded to the Thunder fans around her. Social media lit up with reactions, and one video clip went viral with fans commenting on her bold presence.
