The Houston Rockets hosted the Charlotte Hornets in their latest matchup. The Rockets and the Hornets are at the bottom of their respective conferences. But that does not mean that watching them play while sitting courtside makes it any less attractive. NBA fans got a real treat at this Rockets game as they saw Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) in attendance.
Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul starred in the hit TV show, ‘Breaking Bad’, which has won several awards during its tenure. The show ran for five seasons and became a huge hit among fans instantly.
