Rockets missed 3 free throws that would have iced the game. Jabari choked.

He’s a 83% ft shooter and had to hit one to ice the game. That’s not on coaching just an epic chokejob from Jabari.

It would been horrible for the rockets since they can't make FT right now!

fouling is an issue if it's Luka, he's best in the world in intentionally missing FT's :)
