“Home Alone” director Chris Columbus revealed that the legendary aftershave face slap scene was partially improvised by Macaulay Culkin. Columbus shared that the crew erupted into laughter after Culkin did not move his hands when he slapped his face after applying aftershave so they decided to keep that version in the final cut of the movie.

Monk (groin) has been listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Rockets.

Monk has scored at least 20 points in all but one of his previous seven contests, averaging 23.7 points per game and shooting 45 percent from the floor in that span.
