HOUSTON -- The NBA says James Harden's game-winning shot in the Houston Rockets' Game 3, 97-96 win over the Golden State Warriors should not have counted.
The league said Friday that Harden initiated contact with the Warriors' Andre Iguodala before hitting the shot with 2.7 seconds to play in Thursday night's game.
On the replay, it appears Harden pushed off Iguodala before converting his 10-foot step back jumper.
The NBA also said it is reviewing the play of Golden State forward Draymond Green at the end of the game for possible discipline.
