Conspiracy! Referee Who Didn’t Call The Closeout-Fouls Wore Kevin Durant’s Custom Sneakers

Last night’s Game 1 of the Western Conference Semi-Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets was overshadowed by the referees’ poor performance.

To be fair, it was not as one-sided as the basketball world makes it seem right now, as Stephen Curry also didn’t get the calls he should have gotten, but the missed calls on Warriors closing out on Harden when he was shooting threes, was almost criminal.

After the game, the officials admitted to ​missing four separate foul calls that would have benefited the Rockets, and Rockets fans are starting to believe that it goes beyond accidental missed-calls. Even more so after they detected that one of the refs was wearing Nike KD 8s. Pretty unlucky choice of sneakers for an official in a game like that.
