Houston Rockets at New York Knicks

Houston Rockets center Omer Asik (3) shouts a foul shot in the fourth quarter of Game 5 of their first-round NBA basketball playoff series in Oklahoma City, Wednesday, May 1, 2013. Houston won 107-100. The Thunder, apparently doubting they could overcome an eight-point lead on their home court without Russell Westbrook, resorted to intentionally fouling Omer Asik — a 54 percent career foul shooter — with 5:33 to play. Asik went 8 for 12 from the line, extending Houston's lead to 101-92 with 3:53 remaining before Oklahoma City gave up the tactic. (AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki)
