2009 Playoffs and controversy with the Houston Rockets
In the 2009 Playoffs, Crawford created considerable controversy with questionable calls in the second game of the 1st round series between the Houston Rockets and Portland Trailblazers. Major outcry from Rockets fans came from the final 1.3 second of the game. The Rockets were down by two points, and Rudy Fernández tripped and fell down while attempting to take a throw in from out of bounds. Fernandez clearly knocked the ball out of bounds and was not touched by a Rockets player. Crawford who was only a few feet away automatically called the foul on Houston despite no evidence of contact, sealing the game for the Portland Trailblazers.[13]
