HOUSTON — The Houston Rockets got a win over the New York Knicks Monday night thanks to a pair of free throws with less than a second remaining from a foul call officials admitted they got wrong. Aaron Holiday had 18 points, capped by the free throws after a disputed foul call by Jalen Brunson behind the 3-point line, to lift the Houston Rockets to a 105-103 victory. Precious Achiuwa blocked a short shot by Jalen Green and Holiday grabbed the ball beyond the arc and shot it as Brunson rushed out at him. After the game, crew chief Ed Malloy said that in live action they believed "the lower body contact was illegal contact." But their opinion changed after seeing the replay.
