The NBA on Tuesday corrected an official’s call for the second time in the first-round series between the Rockets and Trail Blazers, again telling the Rockets a call involving center Dwight Howard and Blazers backup Joel Freeland was incorrect.
The technical foul on Howard late in the first quarter Sunday was rescinded. Freeland had fouled Howard with 8.9 seconds left in the first quarter. Howard was called for a technical foul on his way to the line. Damian Lillard made the free throw in a game that went into overtime.
