After the Rockets lost to the Warriors in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals, emotions were understandably running high after Houston fell short of their ultimate goal once again.
As first reported by The Athletic’s Shams Charania, James Harden and Chris Paul had heated verbal exchanges throughout Game 6 and in the locker room after the game. After Shams’ reported, other media outlets claimed that Harden and Paul’s relationship had been damaged beyond repair.
Mike D’Antoni basically summed up the reports as just the media’s eagerness to create attention-grabbing headlines for views.
