VIDEO: Hornets Announcers Roast James Harden Over 'Quadruple Double' With 10 Turnovers
By Michael Luciano
James Harden is no stranger to triple doubles, but the Charlotte Hornets broadcast made sure that he knew about how he unfortunately found himself the owner of one of the most dubious "quadruple doubles" in recent NBA memory. While the Houston Rockets star picked up a triple double via points, rebounds, and assists, he also turned the ball over 10 times in this game in a losing effort. The Hornets' regional broadcast then turned into a bunch of comedians, heckling Harden non-stop.
“That’s history, folks. A quadruple-double for James Harden in points, rebounds, assists and turnovers.”

Charlotte appears to be the first team that figured out a way to stop Houston's small ball offense that forces 6-foot-5 PJ Tucker to play center. The Rockets were off their game all night shooting, and they even managed to let Charlotte score the first 20 points of the game before they even managed to get one on the board.
From top to bottom, a complete nightmare. When the clock showed all zeroes, the hometown Hornets won by nine.

Between the unfathomably bad shooting and Harden's struggles with breaking down the Charlotte defense, this night in North Carolina was one to forget for the Rockets.
