Tyrese Haliburton’s girlfriend made the trip to Oklahoma City to support the Pacers guard in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday.
Jade Jones was especially hyped after Haliburton’s go-ahead jumper with 0.3 seconds remaining to beat the Thunder, 111-110, after the Pacers trailed by as many as 15 points in the fourth quarter.
“3 more!!!!” Jones wrote, including a Pacers’ graphic with the final score.
The blonde beauty, who is a former Iowa State cheerleader, rocked a pair of custom jeans with Haliburton’s name down the leg.
Jones and her friend skipped out of Paycom Center while waving yellow Pacers rally towels, as seen in another video on her Instagram Story.
Jones has supported Haliburton throughout his NBA career, which began when the Kings selected him in the first round of the 2020 NBA Draft.
The couple, who began dating while they were students at Iowa State, celebrated six years together in April.
Jones also reshared a post on X from Fever star Caitlin Clark, who wrote, “YOU CAN’T MAKE IT UP,” with a bunch of crying-laughing emojis.
Jones and Haliburton are close friends with Clark and her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, a former Pacers assistant.
Clark, who attended the Pacers’ Game 6 win over the Knicks to win the Eastern Conference title last week, wasn’t at Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
Haliburton, who finished with 14 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, was the hero of the night.
His game-winner marked his fourth game-tying or go-ahead field goal in the final five seconds of the fourth quarter during the Pacers’ playoff run.
Oklahoma City was in control of the game until the fourth quarter.
The Pacers outscored the Thunder 32-16 in the final 9:30 minutes after trailing 94-79 en route to a Game 1 stunner by Haliburton.
It was the Thunder’s first home loss this season against an Eastern Conference team (15-1).
The Indiana Pacers lead the best-of-seven series against the Thunder, 1-0.
Game 2 will take place on Sunday in Oklahoma City at 8:00 p.m. ET.
