Former referee expects the Rockets to retaliate in Game 2

It’s old news now that the Houston Rockets are livid with the lack of foul calls against the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

In particular, the team is upset at how many times contact James Harden attempted a three-pointer, and had someone in his landing space when he came back to the court, without a foul being called.

And now it creates an interesting - and a little bit scary - situation heading into Game 2. According to a report from Tom Haberstroh of NBC Sports, a former NBA referee believes that the Rockets will retaliate on Tuesday night by fouling the Warriors in the same manner that they believe they were fouled in.
