As was reported yesterday, the Rockets are expected file a protest with the league over the outcome of Tuesday’s game against the Spurs, during which Houston lost in double-overtime after giving up a 22-point lead. (They have 48 hours from the end of the game to make it official, so the clock is ticking.)
The reason for the protest is a James Harden dunk that clearly went through the hoop before inexplicably wrapping back around the rim with 7:50 left in the fourth quarter. None of the refs saw the ball go in, and Mike D’Antoni reportedly took too long to use his coach’s challenge for a video review.
