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. The fan was escorted out of the arena and will receive a one-year NBA ban.
