The Rockets hit two free throws late while the Cavaliers missed two free throws seconds later, allowing Houston to hold off Cleveland .

The Houston Rockets continued to prove that they're a real threat this season when they beat the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night, 109-108. Now 29-14, the Rockets have the fourth-best record in the league and are the only team with wins over the Cavaliers and Oklahoma City Thunder-- the best team in each conference with identical 36-7 records.

The Cleveland Cavaliers' 109-108 loss to the Houston Rockets was heartbreaking on many fronts. There was questionable officiating both ways that led to the result but missed free throws and poor offensive execution down the stretch is what did the Cavs in.
