Rockets Likely To File Official Protest Regarding Missed James Harden Dunk During Loss To Spurs

The Houston Rockets will likely file an official protest in regards to the refs failing to count a James Harden dunk during their 135-133 loss to the San Antonio Spurs, league sources told Tim MacMahon of ESPN.

The Rockets were optimistic that the NBA would take action without a protest, though the team may now file a protest within the allotted 48-hour window following a game to force a ruling.

Sources also told ESPN that the league is conducting an investigation, though the resolution could take longer than 48 hours.

The play in question took place with 7 minutes and 50 seconds left in the game. The Rockets would have lead 103-89 had Harden’s dunk counted.

League sources added that the Rockets will not be awarded a win.
