The following is a press release from the NBA:

NEW YORK – The NBA today denied the DallasMavericks’ protest of their 127-125 loss to the Golden StateWarriors on March 22, 2023.

The Mavericks’ protest asserted that, with approximately twominutes remaining in the third quarter, the officials did notproperly administer an out-of-bounds call and a subsequent throw-inthat was followed by an uncontested basket by Golden State. But theincident occurred with nearly 14 minutes remaining in the game, andDallas thereafter took the lead twice in the final four minutes.Under these circumstances, Dallas was not able to show — asrequired under the standard for NBA game protests — that it wasdeprived of a fair opportunity to win the game, and the protestfailed on that basis alone.

Following the game, Dallas Governor Mark Cuban posted on Twitterthat the officials had originally awarded possession to Dallas onthe play and then during the timeout changed the call. Those publicstatements were inaccurate, and in its written submission insupport of its protest, Dallas agreed that the referee signaledpossession to Golden State.

The NBA concluded that although the game officials could havetaken steps to better manage this particular situation, that didnot provide a basis for the extraordinary remedy of upholding agame protest.
