James Harden slams ball on the court, hits himself in the face

Rockets superstar James Harden had a chance to get the last shot of the half in a tie game against the Pelicans on Saturday night, but his attempt was deflected by Josh Hart as the buzzer sounded. Harden was upset with the outcome and likely felt that he was fouled – it’s James Harden, after all – and he reacted by throwing pounding the the ball into the court – only for it to bounce up and smack him in the face.

Hart’s reaction was priceless.

Harden, it should be noted, has struggled from the floor to open the season. Harden shot 2-for-13 in the Rockets’ season opener against the Bucks, and was 3-for-14 at halftime against the Pelicans.
