Jaden McDaniels' girlfriend slams 'weird' Luguentz Dort remarks 

Jaden McDaniels and the Minnesota Timberwolves walked away from Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals with a 114-88 loss on the road. With Game 2 set to tip off at 8:30p.m. EST on Thursday, Minnesota has a chance to even up the series with the Oklahoma City Thunder at one game apiece.

Jaden McDaniels' girlfriend, Allison Audrey, joined the conversation after Game 1, voicing her perspective on one fan's Luguentz Dort comment. Dort was one of many Thunder players who spent time guarding McDaniels and Anthony Edwards. He and McDaniels are both known as great defenders, but Dort's approach is more physical.

The play that caused one fan to comment about Dort saw him grab at McDaniels' shorts while navigating a screen in the first half of Game 1. The 6-foot-4 forward pulled on Jaden McDaniel's shorts as he tried to stay with Edwards on defense.

One fan pointed out to Audrey that he might be getting too comfortable with her boyfriend while competiting against him, prompting a one word response from her.

"Weird," Audrey said to a fan who suggested that Dort was trying to get into her boyfriend's shorts.

Audrey is an avid supporter of Jaden McDaniels and has been throughout his career with the Timberwolves. Minnesota fans have embraced both her and her husband, and they have repaid their appreciation. Audrey went as far as to shout out a fan who got McDaniels' face tattooed on their body to show support for him earlier this season.

The Timberwolves are back in the Western Conference Finals for the second consecutive year, but need to win four of the next six games to advance to the NBA Finals. The franchise has never won a title, but Audrey and the rest of their fanbase have been loud with their support of the team as they compete for their first championship.

Jaden McDaniels' comments after Game 1 concerned fans

The Timberwolves lost the third quarter of Game 1 32-18 and weren't able to come back after a big run by the Thunder. Jaden McDaniels spoke about the difference in intensity from each team and what went wrong for Minnesota in the second half, but his comments worried fans.

“I'll say, I think we let off the pressure a little bit,” McDaniels said. “We were picking up 94 feet. I feel like we kinda let off... and then just staying with the game, no matter what the score is. Anything can happen. It's a playoff game, you just have to play until the buzzer goes off.”

One fan was baffled by his analysis, asking when the team would show effort if not in the Western Conference Finals.

"Letting off the gas in the western conference finals??" commented one fan.

"I’m so confused by this answer," said another.

Dort and the Thunder have led the NBA in almost every defensive stat all season long. Jaden McDaniels' comments about the difference in effort between both teams is cause for concern, but the Timberwolves bounced back from both of their previous losses this postseason with wins.

While Audrey deals with strange comments from fans about Dort's defense on her boyfriend, she and the rest of the Minnesota faithful will be cheering their team on Thursday night in the hopes of evening things up before heading back home.
