"Vegas made that call": NBA fans go berserk as last foul call covers Clippers spread on James Harden's big night vs Rockets

The LA Clippers finally won a game with James Harden in the lineup after a 106-100 victory over the Houston Rockets. However, instead of commenting about the game, NBA fans noticed that the last foul call helped the Clippers cover the spread. Some even claimed that there's a conspiracy between the refs and Las Vegas.

With 0.2 seconds left, the Rockets were called for a foul on Kawhi Leonard, who made the two free throws. Instead of winning the game with a four-point lead, the Clippers won by six points.

The six-point cushion helped the LA Clippers cover the spread for the game, as they were -5.5 points to start the contest. Fans took to social media to blast the league, the refs and Vegas for the alleged conspiracy, as most people likely bet on the Houston Rockets.

One fan commented:

"Lmao Vegas made that call for the Clippers spread that's crazy."

One fan cannot believe that the referee called the foul and hinted at a possible conspiracy:

"The female ref just called a foul so Clippers can cover the spread bc everyone on Rockets."

One fan lost money because of the call:

"The Rockets and Clippers were tied with 29 seconds left on a 5.5 point spread and go on to not cover off a foul called underneath the basket that had to be reviewed with .2 seconds left."

One already had a bad feeling about the Clippers' spread before the game:

"That Rockets/Clippers spread is fishy…"

One Rockets fan doesn't care about the spread but still called out the referees for favoring the Clippers over his team on Friday:

"Hey @NBA you need to tell them Refs to call this Rockets & Clippers y'all calling every foul on da Rockets and none on the Clippers."
