The RS we start with the game at the end of our night in Houston between the Rockets and
00:09
the Golden State Warriors Houston three-point home favorite trying to earn that spot in
00:15
the Western Conference NBA Cup semifinal against Oklahoma City and it came down really to the
00:22
final minute Golden State up by one 90 to 89 around 40 seconds remaining in regulation
00:29
Steph Curry tries to hit the dagger it does not go loose ball scramble for the rebound
00:35
Gary Payton jr. has the basketball passes it over as he is on the floor trying to get
00:41
it to a teammate Jonathan Kaminga falls on it in a tussle with Jalen Green whistle all
00:47
right jump all that's fine we'll decide it in the air no a loose ball foul 80 feet away
00:54
from the hoop on Jonathan Kaminga since Houston's Jalen Green to the line he hits both free
01:02
throws the Rockets take a lead Jabari Smith jr. makes a great defensive play at the end
01:08
Houston holds on for a 91-90 win in a spot in Sin City on Saturday in the semifinals
01:15
of the NBA Cup hey Shang-Goon stepped up last night 26 points 10 of 18 from the floor
01:21
but also when you talk about playing the Golden State Warriors Ben isn't usually matching
01:25
them from the three-point line you know they're gonna bomb away let's at least hold our own
01:29
then you look at the Houston Rockets from three-point range six of 27 for 22% and still
01:35
won that basketball game and also we are screaming about fouls at the end of the game then I
01:40
don't know if I've ever seen this before you take a look at Golden State four for nine
01:43
from the free-throw line and then you look at Houston nine of ten we usually look at
01:47
that say like 25 or 32 or at least you know 11 or 15 on the low end of the spectrum that's
01:53
why this game was played like a 19 what early 1990s NBA game 91-95 at this point it was
01:59
an ugly game but the Houston Rockets have something pretty special with a nice meld
02:03
of some veteran players and young players it's nice to see them move on they'll be getting
02:07
that spotlight now moving forward even if it probably wasn't warranted on that bad foul
02:12
call to end the game.
