Players will do anything to contribute to the win. And that involves unleashing their acting chops on the basketball court. Both James Harden and Jae Crowder were on the same page in this certain play. The two simultaneously flopped after colliding with one another during Game 2 between the Utah Jazz and Houston Rockets.

It’s hard to figure out who flopped or not. Crowder was apparently hit in the face and immediately covered his mouth while falling down. Harden, meanwhile, made it appear as if he hit a brick wall — hoping that it would be called for an illegal screen. So who flopped?
Most NBA players have developed the expertise of selling the call. The two might have faked it but as observed, Crowder got the best of Harden. A defensive foul was called on Harden who did not agree with the call one bit.
The Jazz have tied the series at one game apiece. It’s a long series to go but the Jazz did what they had to do: steal at least one game on the road.
The chances still look slim for them, especially since they’re up against the number one team in the regular season. However, preparing well against Harden’s playmaking skills and other details, the little tricks — like the one seen above, can definitely help in their cause.
