Houston Rockets fast break too fast for referee Joey Crawford

May 25, 2015, 7:11 PM | Updated: 7:11 pm

Jason Terry didn’t earn the nickname “The Jet” for nothing.

When the Houston Rockets guard is out running the open floor, opponents are often left stumbling over themselves to keep up.

And, apparently, so are referees.

In the second quarter of Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, Terry and teammate Corey Brewer were on a fast break with only Golden State’s Draymond Green in between.

Referee Joey Crawford was trying to keep up with the play, and it looks like the 63-year-old official’s legs just gave out as he got inside the three-point line.

It’s worth turning on the volume of the Vine video and hearing ESPN’s call of Crawford’s spill.

Crawford landed about equivalent to the free throw line and nearly slid to the baseline, all while Terry made a lay-up.

The veteran referee got up from the ground and seemed to continue refereein’ on like everything was fine.

We’ve seen flopping from NBA players, but from the officials? Now that’s a new one.
