Pacers Lose Game 2 Amid Heated Fan Exchange

Oklahoma City, OK – The Indiana Pacers lost Game 2 of the NBA Finals to the Oklahoma City Thunder, falling 123-107 on Sunday. The loss tied the series at one game apiece.

Amid the game, Jade Jones, girlfriend of Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton, was spotted in a heated exchange with Thunder fans at Paycom Center. Jones attended the game to support Haliburton, who had led the Pacers to a come-from-behind victory in Game 1.

Wearing an all-black outfit with her credential, Jones’s presence drew attention as the Thunder crowd wore blue shirts provided for the event. Her animated reactions quickly circulated on social media, drawing mixed responses from NBA fans.

Supporters praised Jones for her passionate defense of Haliburton, with one fan commenting, “Love it tbh… she standing on business for her man.” However, critics pointed out Haliburton’s performance, noting he only scored five points in the game, with one user saying, “Talking crazy when yo bf only had 5 points is insane.” Others added, “Umm… she needs to sit down and mind her damn business!!”

Game 3 of the NBA Finals will take place at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indiana on Wednesday, June 11. Haliburton and Jones have been together since April 2019 when both were students at Iowa State University.

The couple celebrated their sixth anniversary earlier this year. On social media, Jones expressed her love, writing, “6 whole years of loving you. Every single day you continue to amaze me!!” Haliburton responded, “6 years damn, my ride or die always! Love you girl❤️.”
