Things between Houston and Cleveland were heated on Sunday afternoon. First, Patrick Beverley and LeBron James got tangled up in a heated exchange. A few minutes later, Timofey Mozgov fouled James Harden, which led to Trevor Ariza getting in the Cavaliers center's face.
Then, Harden kicked LeBron in the, uh, crotch.

As the Harden was falling to the floor, his leg suddenly jerked up and rocketed out and into The King's nether region. It seemed to be the theme of the day -- when Beverley fell to the floor earlier in the game he tried the same tactic.
In any case, it was a spirited event and I'm sure that Adam Silver will have the cajones to step up and make sure everything is in order with a few fines.
Balls. I'm talking about balls.
