The Boston Celtics won in the final seconds

NBA admits that the NBA officials missed five traveling violations by the Celtics in the final 53 seconds of Boston-Houston game, including ones on the final two baskets to win.
The game was officiated by only two referees because the third one had to give up due to back spasms.
Harden was called for a pair of offensive fouls with 7.3 seconds and 3.0 seconds remaining, for pushing off on Smart while trying to position himself to catch an inbounds pass. In both instances, the report states that, "Harden dislodges Smart from his legal guarding position."
