Although for the most part, Game 1 between the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors was an exciting and competitive contest, unfortunately the questionable officiating ended up being the predominant talking point. A number of controversial closeouts on James Harden went uncalled and both teams were left frustrated and disgruntled with the referees when all was said and done.
But of course, the Houston Rockets, the team that easily defeated the Utah Jazz in round one, were left the most disappointed considering that they’re the ones that took the L while the Warriors got away with the W.
