Metta World Peace was subdued and contrite in the Los Angeles Lakers' locker room, apologizing to Oklahoma City's James Harden for throwing the elbow that sent them both to the locker room in the second quarter.
They both missed a beauty of a game that could echo into the postseason for two division leaders.

Lifetime ban AND Assault CBI for this trash. But they won’t, because they’re cowards and moneygrubbers.
Did you see the fans standing and applauding while he was being escorted out? Basketball is for thugs to be watched by thugs.
Just not true. Escalated, yes. But started? No. That would have been Ben Wallace. The guy that threw the beer was named John Green. You can point a finger at him, too.
It didn’t appear Artest hit the guy on purpose; just doing his impersonation of some animal at the zoo.
You obviously have not watched the videos.
You not from da ‘hood. You doan know what t’slike to grow up there. You cain’t unnerstand how the survival instinck kicks in when ya hear footsteps coming up behind ya. If you’d abin brought up in da ‘hood, you’d understand.

Didn’t Will Rogers say “I never Metta World Peace I didn’t like”?
Yeah, after thumping his chest like the lowland gorilla he is, this DNA challenged thug elbows the opposing player right in the chops.
Must be whiteys fault.
It is amazing how these “Pros” celebrate such a simple task of dunking a ball (not to difficult when you can jump high enough that the basket is below your arms) with theatrics like they had just conquered cancer.
Ten 7' black thugs, walking up and down the court, slam, jam'em a ball that they can palm like a baseball, into a rim that is usually three feet lower than the apex of their slam, or shooting wide open 3 pointers.
They begin to run with two minutes on the game clock which turns into 25 minutes of wall clock time when they use their collective ten time outs.
On rare occasion, they will replace one 7' black thug with a 7' token white thug that can jam the ball and sometimes can even speak English {not a requirement}.
Dirk Nowitzki is no thug, and he beat those thugs from Miami last year.
Or "He Hate Me."
I agree 100%. Worse is that I can’t get away from it .... ESPN’s Top 10 plays always include six, no talent, dunks and two, even less talent, soccer shots.
The NBA should have raised the basket height 3 feet years ago.
I could never get into basketball. Especially today.
Not entirely true....Harden deliberately stepped into MWP and started the contact.
Not defending the cheap shot, but Harden isn’t innocent here.
Huh? Man I hate soccer, but I would never sit there and propose they change the size of the net to allow little people a better chance. Like Soccer, the game is what it is but changing rim height is just preposterous. I find NCAA and international basketball largely unwatchable, but I don't find myself making these kinds of statements about something I don't care to watch.
