The Rockets ended up dropping the game by 4 points in the opening of the series. However, it was not without what many view to be critical calls and missed fouls as the Rockets could have easily tied the game late in the game. However, the Rockets now have to come into the game and start to pick up some of the foul issues they had in the first game and not reach the point that they have to rely on the fouls to bring home a win.
