James Harden’s night turned into a nightmare in a matter of two seconds Thursday. Needless to say, he wasn’t happy.
The Houston Rockets guard had the ball in his hands in the final seconds of Game 3 against the Golden State Warriors but failed to get a shot off, allowing Golden State to escape with a 99-98 win and take a 2-0 series lead.
Harden still was steaming as he walked to the locker room, and he took out his anger on a poor, unsuspecting curtain.
“It’s frustrating,” Harden said after the game, via The Associated Press. “It’s frustrating to give the game away like that.”
Harden scored a game-high 38 points, but he’s undoubtedly wishing he cracked 40. Yet that might be the least of the All-Star’s worries.
Before Thursday’s game, rapper Lil B — aka “The Based God” — called out Harden for supposedly stealing his now-famous “cooking” move.

The California native took it even further, telling TMZ Sports that Harden will be cursed if he doesn’t admit to copying his move.
As Kevin Durant can attest, The Based God is not one to be trifled with.
I tried to listen to Lil B and my mind wouldn't let me do it….can't believe this guy is relevant
