The Houston Rockets are likely to file an official protest with the NBA over the missed call on James Harden’s dunk on Tuesday, ESPN’s Tim MacMahon reports.
Houston’s likely grievance comes after the Rockets lost in double overtime to the San Antonio Spurs. With 7:50 left in the fourth quarter, Harden threw down a breakaway dunk that the officials did not count after deeming it came back through the basket.
"When the play happened, Harden goes in for a dunk, and then the ball appears to us to pop back through the net," crew chief James Capers said on Tuesday.
