The Houston Rockets hosted LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night, and it didn’t take long for things to get a little chippy between the two third-place clubs.
Early in the third quarter, both James and Rockets guard Patrick Beverley received technical fouls after they tangled under the hoop, yet this paled in comparison to what would happen between LeBron and James Harden near the quarter’s close.
Guarding Houston’s very own MVP candidate, King James managed to trap “The Beard,” but not before receiving a not-so-gracious parting gift from Harden.
WATCH:
Officials slapped Harden with a flagrant foul, but his 33 points would still be good enough to lead Houston to a 105-103 victory in overtime.
