James Harden shot 0 free throws today breaking his streak of 148 straight games with a FT

He does get hacked and the refs swallow their whistle though....those should be FTA's and instead they are effectively turnovers. I mean, that's a thing that does happen that makes his performances look worse.

yeah, but, it's so much easier to blame the refs.

 

A testament to both great coaching and incredibly coachable players.
