The Houston Rockets were on a six-game winning streak heading into Tuesday night's clash with the Toronto Raptors, and they were at home for the game between one of the best teams in the East and one of the best in West.
Nobody could have foreseen what happened coming, though, as the Raptors blitzed the Rockets in the first half and cruised to the easy victory.
The tweet above wasn't the only one the Raptors sent out to announce their win over Houston, and the first one was so much better because they trolled James Harden in a fun way.
We almost forgot there was a time Harden didn't have a beard, but the Raptors reminded the basketball world that there was a time when there was nothing to fear.
Now, though, teams and players fear the beard and for good reason. Even though the Raptors won, Harden scored 38 points and added 11 assists.
In the end, not only did Toronto win, but fans everywhere did thanks to the throwback picture.
