The Houston Rockets put together a memo that highlighted 81 potential missed calls from Game 7 of the 2018 Western Conference Finals and NBA league operations president Byron Spruell determined that "referees likely changed the eventual NBA champion," according to Zach Lowe and Rachel Nichols of ESPN.com.
Sam Amick of The Athletic was the first to report the Rockets researched the way their games are called against the Warriors after their 104-100 loss in Game 1 of the second-round series.
The team never sent the league the memo, but there was an in-person conversation with league officials to discuss the contents of the memo, ESPN reports.
