Things got really chippy during the Cleveland Cavaliers 105-103 overtime loss to the Rockets in Houston on Sunday.  It was a battle of the MVP contenders between LeBron James and James Harden.  The two got into it, physically as Harden appeared to intentionally or unintentionally kick LeBron below the belt.  The Cavs star believes the kick was definitely intentional and LeBron James expects the league to do something about it.

Harden got a flagrant foul when he kicked in the direction of James’ crotch as he fell as James tried to grab the ball from him late in the third. James was pulled away from Harden as he screamed at him, and Brewer and Cleveland’s Tristan Thompson both received technical fouls from the ensuing argument.

“That’s not a basketball play and the league will probably take a look at it,” James said. “I have no idea why he would do that.”

Harden said it was just a reaction.

The NBA likely will review the incident and could either access no further action or give Harden somewhere around a $15,000 fine.

Fans of course are split on whether or not the kick warrants further action depending on who they like better between James Harden and LeBron James.
