The Trail Blazers stole game one of their NBA Playoffs series in Houston on Sunday night in an overtime thriller, 122-120. During the game, Portland center Robin Lopez received a technical foul after looking at Dwight Howard creepily:
After the play, the Rockets’ Twitter account poked fun at Lopez, posting this:

Robin Lopez’ hair is getting out of control and he does make funny faces, so this is pretty accurate and justified. However, Trail Blazer fans took exception to this, and representing them was the Portland Police’s Twitter account, which sent this out as a rebuttal:
We don’t normally endorse theft, but stealing 1 from the @HoustonRockets is just fine with us @trailblazers#RipCity#PORvsHOU#NBAPlayoffs

Again, justified, as Houston completely blew the game and missed free throws after being up 6 and allowing LaMarcus Aldridge, yes LaMarcus Aldridge, and Nicolas Batum to hit back-to-back game-tying threes in overtime.
