THE NBA has denied the Dallas Mavericks' protest of their 116-108 overtime loss to the Houston Rockets last month.
The Mavericks argued that the referees had improperly called a technical foul on center Erick Dampier following an instant replay review with 1:01 left in overtime of the December 18 game. Because it was Dampier's second technical foul, he was ejected.
However, commissioner David Stern ruled on Tuesday that the decision to give Dampier a technical was a judgment call, not a misapplication of the rules, which can't be protested under NBA rules. The league will rule later this month on a protest the Atlanta Hawks filed because of a shot clock error in their loss at Cleveland last week.
