The third-seeded Memphis Grizzlies suffered a very important loss against the second-seeded Houston Rockets on Monday night. To make matters worse, it looks like a big reason for the loss could be attributed to a costly mistake by the NBA officials.

This was the third meeting between the Memphis Grizzlies and Houston Rockets. Memphis needed things to be differently, and it felt that way for a lot of Monday's game. Ja Morant and Desmond Bane came right out of the gates and knocked down back-to-back 3-pointers to put Memphis on the board.
