'Game of Thrones' followed Emilia Clarke to the Houston Rockets game
We don't know if Daenerys Targaryen will ultimately sit on the Iron Throne when Game of Thronesis over, but the Houston Rockets certainly stan.
Dany actor Emilia Clarke attended the Game 6 showdown between the Rockets and the Golden State Warriors at Houston's Toyota Center on Friday evening. And with courtside seats, she was one of the more visible celebs in the house -- perfect for a jokey photo opp.
That's exactly what happened at one point when Clutch the Rocket Bear, the local team's mascot, strolled by clutching a to-go coffee cup. You know, like the kind you'd get at, say, a Starbucks. (Clarke herself was not evidently in possession of coffee, despite what the Rockets tweet said.)

Let's take a minute to really appreciate the Rockets media team's chyron game. (A "chyron" is the text caption you often see used on news programs to identify who's speaking.) In this case, Clarke's chyron features her fictional Targaryen queen's entireparade of official titles.
There was another queen in attendance at Game 6 as well: Beyonce. The Houston native also took in the game with courtside seats while husband Jay-Z sat beside her. Both queens put in the expected appearances on social media, but none of the photos show them together in some weird (but totally welcome) royal gathering.

It was otherwise a tough night for the Rockets. The Warriors won the game 118-113, and the unexpected loss for Houston -- which was favored to win -- officially ended the team's 2019 playoffs effort.
Two queens. A pitched battle in which the favorite to win ended up losing. A random coffee cup moment. Life imitates Game of Thrones.
