The New York Knicks and the Houston Rockets have decided to take their show of unity one step further than other NBA teams.
Last night players from both teams interlocked arms with one another during the anthem, not just with their own teammates.

Joakim Noah apparently contacted Houston Rockets James Harden and Corey Brewer before the exhibition game.
“It was definitely about two teams coming together,” Noah said, per Marc Berman of the New York Post. “We understand there are issues in this country and we wanted to show solidarity that we’re all in this together.”
“We’re united,” Carmelo Anthony said. “[The Rockets] were on board with it. It shows to everybody we’re united.”
