Kenyon Martin missed a pair of free throws that could have forced overtime in Denver's loss to Houston on Monday night, but the Nuggets feel they had the game-winning bucket taken away.

With Houston leading 114-113, Linas Kleiza drove into the lane and dished to Nene for a dunk, but the bucket didn't count because referee Bennett Salvatore called a charge on Kleiza as he ran into Chuck Hayes.

"I thought it was definitely a flop," Kleiza said. "I definitely didn't feel like I hit him. But, oh well. It's done. We've got to move on."
