The Memphis Grizzlies got a little help down the stretch from the officiating crew.
With about a minute remaining in Monday's game and the Houston Rockets trailing 94-90, Rockets superstar James Harden tried sending a pass to Eric Gordon, but it instead struck official Karl Lane, who'd stepped in between them. The ball went out of bounds, and the Grizzlies took possession.
Memphis held on for the 98-90 victory at Toyota Center after going on a 20-2 run to close out the contest.
