Maybe the Thong Streaker thought since it was a Kings-Rockets, no one would notice.
This had to be a bet.
You can tell security was just fed up being at this game on their Friday night because he tackled him much harder than he needed to be tackled.
The guy likely spent a night in jail and will be fined. He probably has a pretty big bruise on his shoulder. This would have never happened if James Harden was still there.
Harrison Barnes scored 25 points, and the Sacramento Kings beat the Houston Rockets 122-117 on Friday night.
The Rockets and Kings were playing each other for the second time in three days following Sacramento’s 121-118 win on Wednesday.
“I thought everybody contributed, and when we needed a stop or a basket, different guys did it for us,” Kings coach Alvin Gentry said. “We had guys stepping up, and I think that’s the main thing. It was a really good team win.”
For Sacramento, Damian Jones had 17 points, 17 rebounds and six blocks, Donte DiVincenzo had 19, and Chimezie Metu had 18. Barnes made 10 of 16 from the field, including 4 of 6 from 3-point range.
“We just want to play good basketball, finish these games out and see where it goes,” Jones said. “We all played our part and fought to the end.”
Houston rookie Jalen Green scored a career-high 33 points and had six 3-pointers. He was coming off a 32-point night on Wednesday and topped 20 points for a fifth straight game.
The game was interrupted midway through the third quarter by a streaker, who stripped down to his underwear and danced midcourt for a few seconds before being taken down to the floor and carried out by security.
“That was pretty funny,” Jones said. “It looked like it hurt, to be honest, being tackled by them dudes.”
The Rockets were in control of the game before the streaking happened. Afterward, they fell apart.
