Golden State beaten in tight game by HoustonTrae Young downs Knicks in other quarter-final
Golden State coach Steve Kerr said a foul call during his team’s NBA Cup loss to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night was “unconscionable” and that an elementary school referee wouldn’t have made it.
After Stephen Curry missed a three-pointer with Golden State up a point with 11 seconds to go, Gary Payton II grabbed the offensive rebound, but turned the ball over with a pass that Jalen Green intercepted. Jonathan Kuminga was then called for a foul against Green while they were on the floor, giving Green a pair of free throws that lifted Houston to the 91-90 victory and a spot in the NBA Cup semi-finals.
