James Harden’s 15 fourth-quarter points were enough to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a narrow 132-126 victory over the Sacramento Kings in his debut with the team. Immediately after the game, while he was doing his first postgame interview with Cavs sideline reporter Serena Winters, Travis Scott decided to crash the party.

“We’re going to the yard,” Travis Scott yelled after he came running in. “What are we doing? DM, JH, what the f***!”

FanDuel Sports Network didn’t cut off the last part like they probably wish they did. At the same time, they couldn’t have expected Travis Scott to run in like that.

Winters handled this chaotic moment like a pro. She held the microphone in a death grip and, understandably, wasn’t going to give it up to someone who just ran in. And then, when Travis Scott left, she resumed interviewing Harden and Donovan Mitchell as if nothing happened.

She’s good at her job.

You know it girl 😂😂😂 you know we were always taught to never give up our mic, just never knew I was going to have to implement it with such force 😂

It’s also worth noting that Harden and Travis Scott are friends, as seen in their interactions after the game.

The James Harden Era has gotten off to a good and entertaining start for Cleveland.

Harden and Mitchell started slow in the first half, but turned it on in the second. Harden poured in 20 points on 6-7 shooting with two assists over the final two quarters. Mitchell scored 29 on 11-16 shooting in that time as well. That was good enough to get past a rudderless Kings team.

How the Mitchell and Harden pairing works out on the court will determine whether this trade was a win. It worked on Saturday as they combined for 32 fourth-quarter points down the stretch and one crashed postgame interview with Travis Scott.
