Utah Jazz fan issued warning for heckling James Harden before Game 3 against Houston Rockets

SALT LAKE CITY — Security personnel are on high alert at Vivint Arena as the NBA playoffs have moved to the home of the Utah Jazz.

About an hour before the Jazz and Houston Rockets were set to square off in Game 3 of their first round series Saturday night, a fan was issued a warning by security after he heckled Rockets star James Harden as Harden was warming up.

As Harden was putting up shots, the fan, who was standing about 10 rows from the court, loudly yelled things such as "flopper" and "go Harden" while raising his arms, as if he was sarcastically cheering the All-Star on.
