Part 5/7:
After reviewing the tumultuous moments, the referees took their time to determine the outcomes. Ultimately, both Thompson and Green from the Rockets faced ejections alongside both Herro and Rozier from the Heat. As a result of the conflict, Miami was awarded two free throws, allowing them to gain an advantage with only 35.7 seconds left on the clock.
The final minutes unfolded with the Miami Heat up 99-94, a disappointing turn for the Rockets who were still reeling from recent losses, particularly after surrendering a large lead just days earlier against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
