Mavericks to file protest after alleged ref miscommunication leads to world's easiest basket for Warriors

The Dallas Mavericks and their owner Mark Cuban are not happy with the NBA after an alleged miscommunication by the officials led to an easy two points for the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday, in a two-point Warriors win.

The play in question came in the third quarter. At first glance, it looks like a catastrophic mistake by the Mavericks, who were guarding the wrong side of the floor. Warriors guard Jordan Poole quickly inbounded the ball to Kevon Looney, who threw down a half-hearted dunk as the Mavericks' Josh Green arrived to the scene.
