CLEVELAND - As well as things went for the Rockets in a start-to-finish blowout of the Cavaliers, they did get a scare when James Harden landed on Isaiah Thomas' left foot while attempting a 3-pointer.
Harden stayed in the game and said he was fine, but was clearly agitated that no foul was called given the emphasis on defenders allowing shooters a place to land.
"That was a foul, that's what it was," Harden said. "Nobody said anything to me. I had to go over there and say something to (the officials.) That's one of the points of emphasis, protecting the shooter.
