Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

1994 NBA Championship — The entry states 'This was the first major professional sports championship ever won by a Houston-based team.' This is incorrect because the Houston Oilers won AFL championships in 1960 and 1961, which predate 1994.

1994 NBA Championship — The entry says 'The Knicks, who had been recently acquired by Viacom when it bought Paramount Communications (formerly Gulf+Western), were looking to win their third NBA championship and first since .' This contains a factual error: the Knicks were not owned b

1995 NBA Championship — The claim that the Rockets were the first repeat NBA Champion to keep the title with a sweep is inaccurate; the Boston Celtics swept the Lakers in the 1965 Finals while repeating as champions.

Hakeem Olajuwon — Olajuwon led the league in rebounding in 1989, 1990, and 1991, not just twice.

Hakeem Olajuwon — Olajuwon led the league in blocks four times (1990, 1991, 1992, 1993), not three.

Rudy Tomjanovich — Tomjanovich made the playoffs in 1972 as well, totaling six appearances, not five.

Rudy Tomjanovich — Tomjanovich is the fifth-leading scorer in Rockets history, behind Harden, Olajuwon, Murphy, and Moses Malone.

Robert Horry — Horry did not set or tie the NBA Finals record for steals in a game; his career high in Finals steals was 4.

Robert Horry — Horry's game-winning three-pointer in Game 4 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals was not as time expired; it was with 0.6 seconds left.

Tracy McGrady — The entry states McGrady was a '7-time All-Star' and '7-time All-NBA selection' during his Rockets tenure, but these are career totals, not achievements limited to his time with the Rockets.

Otis Thorpe — The claim that Thorpe held the longest streak of consecutive games played in the NBA is false.

Sam Cassell — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section claims Cassell scored 7 points in the final 32 seconds of Game 3 of the 1994 NBA Finals, but he actually scored 7 points in the final 32 seconds of the fourth quarter and overtime combined, making the phrasing factually imprecise.
