Game was marked by triple-double performances of each team's centers, Nikola Jokic and Alperen Sengun.
Speaking about performances, Rockets' head coach Ime Udoka was far from satisfied with performances of the referees in this match.
"I mean, just in general, I think this is the most poorly officiated game that I have seen in a long time," Udoka started in the press conference post-game.
"Two [of the referees] have no business being out there and crew chief was acting star struck, there have been a lot of inconsistent calls, and I'm not sure should we get this many technical fouls."
Udoka was asked how does he prepare his team for situations when he thinks calls are not going their way:
"Just keep being who we are, we ain't going to adjust to poor officials, let's keep playing what we play and hope the officials will adjust and make the right calls," Udoka concluded.
Rockets are 5th in the Western Conference with a 16-7 record.
