Had it gone in, the final score would've been tied.

The Houston Rockets fell in double-overtime to the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday, and although the Rockets were supposed to win the game, the subject of discussion was focused on a dunk that would've made a difference in the outcome.

Nursing a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter, Harden picked off a mid-court pass and thought he had an easy two points in the bag; Harden broke off to the rim and tried to dunk it on the open net.

There was just one problem: the refs thought he missed it thinking it bounced off the rim, but in reality, it went through and popped out on the other side.

The Rockets were unable to challenge the play, to which the refs ruled no basket.

The Rockets let this one slip away, and although the basket would've made a difference, they have themselves to question first about blowing the lead so late.
