SALT LAKE CITY — If James Harden seemed to have a laser focus in the second half of Monday’s game, you might blame — or credit — a fan attending the Rockets 93-91 win over the Utah Jazz.
In a bizarre moment, the game was stopped while Harden and a referee pointed up into the stands at a fan who was pointing a flashlight at the Rockets star’s eyes while he was shooting free throws.
“Some guy was lasering me,” Harden explained. “I saw it the first time. I thought it was just a picture being taken, so I went up to the foul line again and it happened again.
