The refereeing crew for the Wolves-Rockets game was involved in controversy after a controversial overtime win over Houston. The Timberwolves, led by Scott Foster, were reportedly frustrated by several questionable calls, including a flagrant foul on Julius Randle, which led to a four-point Rockets possession that helped Houston lower its deficit from nine to five points. The game was also marked by several key calls that allowed Houston to tie the game at the free-throw line. Despite the controversy, the Wolves remained focused on their game and continued to attack the rack on offense and defense.
