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.

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.
