The Cleveland Cavaliers dropped a heartbreaker 109-108 to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night. After rallying back from down 13, the shorthanded Cavs blew their chances after Darius Garland missed two of three free throws with the Cavs down two in the game’s final seconds.

Trailing the Houston Rockets 109–107 in the closing seconds, Cavaliers guard Darius Garland was fouled on a three-point attempt by Tari Eason and was gifted three free-throw attempts. After review, officials deemed that Eason's close-out was actually "reckless" and upgraded the personal foul to a flagrant foul 1—meaning Garland would get three free-throw attempts and the Cavaliers would receive the ball.
