It’s been quite easy to spot the Pacers fans in Oklahoma City, with yellow shirts often sticking out from the sea of either blue or white. So, when ABC’s Finals broadcast showed a shot from the crowd Sunday, a group of Pacers fans was distinct.
However, even without wearing any Pacers yellow, Jones stood out from the rest of the fans for another reason. She was seen pointing her finger and yelling in the direction of a fan off screen, seemingly getting into a heated interaction with Thunder fans.
Social media quickly caught on that it was Haliburton’s girlfriend in the shot, and the clip went around during Sunday’s Game 2:
