Had the out-of-bounds call been made correctly, the Rockets would have been able to inbound the ball themselves with approximately 20 seconds left while holding a one-point lead. The shot clock would have been off, thereby prompting Milwaukee to either try and force a turnover or (more likely) foul and send Houston to the free-throw line.

Damian Lillard hit a driving layup with 3.9 seconds left to give the Milwaukee Bucks a 101-100 victory over Houston that snapped the Rockets’ five-game winning streak.

With the Rockets missing 8 of 9 shots in the final four minutes, and having an inbounds pass at the rim fall just out of center Alperen Şengün’s reach, the Bucks held on to top the Rockets, 101-100, snapping the Rockets’ five-game winning streak, and extending their losing streak in Milwaukee to six games.
