The Houston Rockets won't be pleased with the NBA's Last Two Minute Report for their Game 5 loss on Tuesday night against the San Antonio Spurs.
With only 1:24 left in overtime, James Harden made his way to the basket in an attempt to stretch the Rockets' lead to three points. It did not turn out as planned for The Beard though as the ball got stolen from him by LaMarcus Aldridge which lead to a go-ahead three-pointer from Danny Green in the next sequence, giving the home team a two-point lead.
However, the NBA released their report wherein the league office admitted that there were two violations Aldridge got away with — a foul on James Harden and a three-second violation.
Although that may be the case, the result of the game won't be overturned, and the Spurs are still the winners on the night.
With Game 6 scheduled on Thursday inside the Toyota Center in Houston, it can be expected that the Rockets will come out with lots of energy to avoid elimination and send the series to a winner-take-all seventh game. They can also use the missed calls as motivation to play even better so they won't need to be in a situation again where a call or two may be the difference between winning and losing.
