"NBA Denies Knicks' Protest of Loss to Rockets Despite Referee Error Admission"

The NBA denied the New York Knicks' protest of their Feb. 12 loss to the Houston Rockets, which was based on a disputed last-second foul call that led to the Rockets' victory. The league acknowledged that the call was incorrect but stated that it did not warrant upholding the protest as it was deemed an error in judgment rather than a misapplication of the playing rules. This decision comes despite the acknowledgment of the incorrect call by the game crew's chief and the league's Last Two Minute Report.

NBA Denies Mavericks' Protest of Loss to Warriors

The NBA has denied the Dallas Mavericks' protest of their March 22 loss to the Golden State Warriors. Mavericks owner Mark Cuban had argued that officials changed a Dallas possession to the Warriors during a timeout, but never alerted his team. However, the NBA stated that the referee signaled possession to Golden State and that the Mavericks still had a fair chance to win regardless of this particular play. The Mavericks have lost seven of their last eight games and are in danger of missing the play-in tournament.

Mavericks' protest of Warriors' win denied by NBA.

The NBA has denied the Dallas Mavericks' protest of the Golden State Warriors' 127-125 win on March 22 in Dallas. Mavericks owner Mark Cuban claimed that officials changed a call during a timeout and never told the Mavs, but the league said Cuban's accusations were false. The NBA concluded that although officials could have "taken steps to better manage this particular situation," there wasn't enough evidence to uphold the protest.
