DALLAS — The Mavericks are officially protesting a controversial call in Wednesday’s loss to the Golden State Warriors, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Dallas Morning News on Friday.
Dallas paid a $10,000 fee to file the formal paperwork with the league office Friday, within the NBA’s required 48-hour deadline after the game’s conclusion.
The call Wednesday resulted in confusion for the Mavericks, who continued to insist Thursday that as they headed to the bench for the timeout, they fully believed they would have possession when the timeout ended.
