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 beat the Thunder, 111-110, after the Pacers trailed by 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 finished with 14 points, 10 rebounds and six assists in Game 1 and 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 controlled the game until the fourth quarter.
The Pacers outscored the Thunder, 32-16, in the final 9:30 after trailing, 94-79.
It was the Thunder’s first home loss this season against an Eastern Conference team (15-1).
The Pacers lead the best-of-seven series against the Thunder, 1-0.
Game 2 takes place Sunday in Oklahoma City at 8 p.m. ET.
