The Dallas Mavericks fell to 0-3 on Sunday, losing 93-92 to the Houston Rockets after James Harden hit a game-winning free throw with a tenth of a second left in the game. To help get open, Harden grabbed Wesley Matthews’ jersey, which wasn’t called.
Let’s talk about it.
- A blatant pull probably gets called, but Harden was subtle with it. He knows how to get the most out of referees, after all, as seen by the foul he drew seconds later (a legitimate call) to win the game.
