The New York Knicks recently made headlines as they filed a protest with the NBA following their narrow 105-103 loss to the Houston Rockets on Monday night. Sources have confirmed that the Knicks decided to take this action on Tuesday evening, citing the NBA's Last Two Minute Report and game crew chief Ed Malloy's acknowledgment of an incorrectly called foul on Knicks guard Jalen Brunson against Houston's Aaron Holiday in the final second of the game.
The crucial play in question occurred when Holiday was awarded two free throws with less than a second remaining on the clock. He made the first two shots and intentionally missed the third to prevent the Knicks from having an opportunity to tie or win the game. The Knicks' protest aims to either have the game re-started in overtime or result in a resolution that doesn't count as a loss for the team.
