An unbelievable, controversial ending eliminated the Golden State Warriors from the NBA Cup.
The Golden State Warriors were eliminated from the Emirates NBA Cup, falling just short of a trip to Las Vegas in heartbreaking fashion.
With just 3.5 seconds remaining as the Warriors led the Houston Rockets 90-89, Jonathan Kuminga was called for a loose ball foul which sent Jalen Green to the line for two free throws. Green sunk both and the Rockets held on to win 91-90.The foul call after a battle for the loose ball was questionable at best.
Gary Payton II gets the loose ball, Fred VanVleet dives on his back and grabs his shoulder — no foul. The ball gets loose again and Jalen Green gets it. Jonathan Kuminga dives on him and grabs his shoulder — foul.Even though the Warriors didn't score in the final three minutes of the game, what a horrendous way to lose. The Rockets advanced to the NBA Cup semifinals to play the Oklahoma City Thunder in Las Vegas on Saturday, Dec. 14 at 8:30 p.m. ET.Blake Silverman is a breaking/trending news writer at Sports Illustrated.
