Mark Cuban apparently isn’t the only passionate basketball owner in Texas.
Houston Rockets owner Leslie Alexander left his courtside seat during Game 5 between his team and the Oklahoma City Thunder to complain to referee Bill Kennedy about a perceived no-call, per Calvin Watkins of ESPN.

Houston entered play on Tuesday holding a 3-1 lead in the first-round series. Rockets general manager Daryl Morey also recently targeted the officials for no-calls on Twitter (as seen here), and we knew it would probably be a high-strung atmosphere in Houston for the potential closeout game. As such, the sight of an animated Alexander, who has owned the Rockets since 1993 and is in his early 70s, really has to add to the playoff intensity.
