Rockets sneak past Knicks after late, controversial foul call on Jalen Brunson that left Tom Thibodeau irate

The Houston Rockets narrowly pulled out a win on Monday night thanks to a foul call at the buzzer that left both Jalen Brunson and New York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau up in arms.

The call was so bad, in fact, that head official Ed Malloy admitted it shouldn't have been called it the first place.

The Rockets, after Brunson hit a step-back jumper to tie the game in the final seconds at the Toyota Center, had one last chance at a shot to grab the win on the other end.
