Fan ejected, banned for one-year for shining flashlight at James Harden

James Harden might like the spotlight.
But the flashlight?
Not so much.
When the Rockets’ All-Star guard stepped to the free throw line late in the third quarter Monday night, something in the crowd got his attention.
Harden apparently believed a fan was using a laser pointer to try to distract him during his free throws, which upset him a good deal.

The game was stopped for several minutes while ushers and arena security looked for the perpetrator.
In the end, it was a fan with a flashlight who was found to be the culprit, according to a Jazz official.
