Monday night’s matchup between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City got chippy and former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney was in on the action.

Romney sat in the front row of Vivint Smart Home Arena for the Jazz’s 113-96 win and participated in the white out wearing a customized Jazz jersey.

When Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook racked up four fouls in the first half, Romney jumped to his feet alongside other Jazz fans to taunt the NBA’s reigning MVP.

Romney held up four fingers toward Westbrook chanting, “Four,” near the end of the second quarter.

The Jazz and Thunder head back to Oklahoma City for Game 5 which will tip off Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. ET. The Jazz lead the series 3-1.
