Houston Rockets: 3 times the league ruled in favor of a team’s protest

During the Houston Rockets‘ Tuesday night loss against the San Antonio Spurs, there were many game-altering calls and non-calls. However, there were none bigger than James Harden‘s dunk with 7:50 remaining in the fourth quarter, as it was clear and blatant that the ball went through the net.

Despite that, the officials determined that the basket did not count, although they later recanted after the game and said the Houston Rockets should have been credited with the field goal. With this quick reversal and admittance afterward, the Houston Rockets have given thought to protest the game if the league doesn’t award them with the victory, according to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon.
