The Rockets hit a franchise-record 28 3s in a win against the Thunder on Feb. 1, just three days before their last win.

According to the indictment, Bannon promised that 100% of the donated money would be used for the project, but the defendants collectively used hundreds of thousands of dollars in a manner inconsistent with the organization's public representations. After Trump was elected, he moved on to a top White House strategy post. But Bannon also clashed with other top advisers, and his high profile sometimes irked Trump.
