In a recent game between the New York Knicks and the Houston Rockets, an incorrect foul call in the final seconds led to the Knicks filing a protest with the NBA. The NBA's Last Two Minute Report and game crew chief Ed Malloy both acknowledged that the foul call on Knicks guard Jalen Brunson against Rockets guard Aaron Holiday was mistakenly made. The Knicks are hoping that their protest will result in overturning the loss.
However, history shows that successful game protests are incredibly rare in the NBA. In fact, it has only occurred six times in NBA history, and just once in the past 41 years. The odds are stacked against the Knicks, but they are determined to fight for their right to rectify the erroneous call.
