The Houston Rockets are on to the semifinals of the NBA Cup, and with some classic NBA Cup drama.
The Rockets defeated the Golden State Warriors 91-90 in a game that went from a defensive clinic for Houston, to a resurgent show of force for Golden State, to a straight-up thriller in the final minute, to a full-on controversy in the final seconds.
Houston, which snapped a 15-game losing streak against the Warriors, will face the Oklahoma City Thunder, who beat the Dallas Mavericks the previous night, in Las Vegas on Saturday in the semifinals.
