The Houston Rockets lost 135-133 to the San Antonio Spurs in double overtime on Tuesday night. Houston’s James Harden scored 50 points (one game after he scored 60 points), but with a rough night shooting from the floor: 11-of-38 on field goals.
So how the heck did Harden score 50 points if he shot 29% from the floor? He went 24-of-24 at the free throw line (good for 100% according to my calculator).
And during one of Harden’s trips to the free throw line, he was yelled at by a Spurs fan:
“No one wants to see a free throw shooting contest!”
Harden quickly responded to the fan:
“Nobody wants to see fouls either, god dammit!”

Rather fittingly, the game (basically) ended with Harden being called for an offensive foul.
DeMar DeRozan draws the game winning charge on James Harden. Wow. https://t.co/JFHtr01Rtu
