NBA denies NY Knicks' protest of loss to Houston Rockets, citing insufficient grounds for rule misapplication.

The NBA has denied the New York Knicks' protest of their loss to the Houston Rockets, stating that referee error is not sufficient grounds to overturn the game's result. The Knicks needed to demonstrate a misapplication of official playing rules rather than an error in judgment by game officials, which did not occur in this case. Since the 2007-08 season, there has been no upheld protest in the NBA.
