In a game filled with drama and controversy, Stephen Curry’s missed three-pointer in the final minute and a late foul call against Jonathan Kuminga became the defining moments of the night.

However, the shot missed. Later, a closer look at the play revealed that Houston’s Aaron Holiday had tapped Curry’s hand during the shot.

The controversial call sent Houston’s Jalen Green to the free-throw line, where he coolly converted both attempts to give the Rockets the decisive edge.
