The Houston Rockets and Cleveland Cavaliers went at it hard on Sunday afternoon but a horrendous non-call that showed what a wild game it really was. 

LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers had not idea what was in store for them when they traveled to Houston to take on the Rockets Sunday afternoon. The game ended up needing overtime to determine a winner but the insane moments kept with us right up to the very end.

With under a minute left in overtime, James Harden tied himself up with LeBron James in what can only be described as the most bizarre way to draw a could ever. Rather than flopping like any self respecting NBA player does, Harden straight up dosey-doed with LeBron in an attempt to draw a foul.

The series of events was so insane to watch that the official standing right  in front of the whole thing failed to blow the whistle until after Harden hard started getting the shot off.

It was eventually called a dead play, but the very fact that an NBA official was standing just feet away from what almost turned into a wrestling match might be the worst non-call of the entire season. The right call was ultimately made, but there was no need for the play to extend as long as it did considering Harden was basically dancing with LeBron in an attempt to draw a foul.

This came after Harden and his foot got a little too comfortable with LeBron’s groin earlier in the game and after LeBron and Patrick Beverly went at it in an uncharacteristic fight for the former MVP.
