Oh, you don’t know? We got you.

GAME. BLOUSES.

In case you weren’t awake, or were on the East Coast, James Harden had yet another triple-double as the Houston Rockets were able to defeat the Golden State Warriors, 132-127, in double overtime. Harden had 29 points, 15 rebounds and 13 assists to help snap the Warriors’ 12-game winning streak.

On Thursday afternoon, yet another former NFL player was shot and killed in New Orleans. Former University of Southern California and New York Jets running back Joe McKnight was killed after he was shot several times in the middle of the road following a car accident. This follows the murder of former New Orleans Saints defensive lineman Will Smith, who was fatally shot this past April after a car accident in New Orleans, as well.
