The Houston Rockets took on the Sacramento Kings Thursday night in a game that looked a lot more enticing when the schedule was released last summer. Unfortunately, with Dwight Howard out with a knee injury and DeMarcus Cousins still sidelined with a viral infection, it was up to James Harden to assume all superstar duties. Here’s The Beard dropping Sacramento’s Ben McLemore on his derriere midway through the third quarter. Speaking of which, yeah, that was the score with 7:50 to go in the period. Suffice it to say it wasn’t the prettiest game we’ve ever seen.

Update: Clearly, I have no learned my lesson about calling games dull. I spoke too soon. The game is in overtime and Harden is going off.
