There was plenty of controversy after last night’s game 1 between the Warriors and Rockets.
During the game, the refs didn’t call the Warriors for stepping under shooters on several different occasions which caused outrage among fans.

Going to be a long series for the Rockets if they're not going to call the step under on the Warriors pic.twitter.com/xULazrDL00

Did Draymond Green foul James Harden on the game-tying shot attempt? #NBAPlayoffs https://t.co/NHq9jhAzqa

It almost felt as if the refs were under orders today to allow the Warriors (Klay, Draymond) to jump into Harden on his three-point attempts. Changed the game. Took Harden out of his comfort zone. Irony: The rule was instituted bc of GSt's Zaza Pa-Cheapshot.

Apparently, the Internet noticed that one of the refs involved in the game was wearing Kevin Durant sneakers.

This is absolutely nothing but good luck telling Rockets fans that after it seemed like refs were on the Warriors side the whole game.
