The Houston Rockets put on a historically great shooting performance, defeating the Golden State Warriors 140-109 at home . Houston tied an NBA record with 23 three-pointers on 40 attempts, with three players making at least four triples and no one on the roster missing less than half of their long-range shots. It was amazing to behold. Of course, it might have been even more impressive if not for certain actions by the Warriors in the final minute. With 34 seconds remaining Warriors forward Draymond Green committed a flagrant-2 foul on Rockets guard Patrick Beverley as he lined up a long two-pointer from the corner. That foul earned Green an automatic ejection. It also came after a dunk and taunting technical foul for Beverley just 30 seconds before. Suddenly, the end of the game wasn't so routine. Beverley sunk both foul shots, but the festivities were far from over. The Warriors intentionally fouled Beverley on the Rockets' last two possessions, forcing Beverly to the line for four more free throws and ensuring that Houston could not attempt to beat the record for made threes in a game. Above, take a look at all the Warriors late-game fouls. After the jump, check out the post-game aftermath complete with quotes.
