Tyrese Haliburton turned up the heat Monday night, delivering a spectacular performance that led the Indiana Pacers to a thrilling 114-110 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. But while Haliburton’s on-court brilliance was headline-worthy, it was his girlfriend Jade Jones’ heartwarming Instagram story that stole the show.
Jones attended the game alongside WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark and her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery. The trio, dubbed the unofficial “Tyrese Haliburton fan club” by Jones herself, cheered enthusiastically from the sidelines. Jones later posted a picture of the group with the caption: “@tyresehaliburton fan club.”
Haliburton certainly gave his fan club plenty to celebrate. The All-Star guard racked up a jaw-dropping 34 points, 13 assists, three rebounds, and three steals, nailing an impressive nine three-pointers. His clutch 3-pointer with just over three minutes remaining, followed by a series of decisive plays, helped seal the victory for Indiana.
Jones and Clark never stop supporting Indiana
After the game, Jones posted a snapshot of Haliburton’s stellar stat line on her Instagram story, letting the world know just how proud she was of her boyfriend’s heroics. “34 points, 9 3PM, 13 assists,” the post read, accompanied by celebratory emojis.
Jones and Clark have been regulars at Pacers games, often showing their support for Haliburton and bonding with teammates before and after games. Their friendship blossomed during Clark’s rookie season with the Indiana Fever, where Haliburton and Jones were constant supporters at her games.
The group has become a fan favorite
Adding to the dynamic, McCaffery, formerly an assistant coach for the Pacers, now coaches at Butler University but remains a familiar face courtside. The tight-knit group’s camaraderie and unwavering support have not gone unnoticed by fans and players alike.
Haliburton’s electrifying performance and Jones’ touching tribute have only strengthened their status as one of the most beloved power couples in basketball. With such strong backing on and off the court, Haliburton is poised to continue dazzling fans and his personal fan club alike.
