Mark Cuban, Owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Plans a Protest over free bucket Awarded to the Golden State Warriors.
ArrayThe Dallas Mavericks’ owner, Mark Cuban, declared his intention to protest over the team’s tight-score defeat with the Golden State Warriors during Wednesday night after a confusing sequence led to an uncontested basket for the Warriors. In a tweet, he said it could have been the most non-call officiating error the NBA has ever seen.
Kevon Looney scored an easy dunk during an inbound play as the Mavericks were set up on their offensive end following a timeout in the third quarter of the Golden State 127-125 victory.
Dallas Mavericks thought they had the ball after official Andy Nagy first indicated that, but their hopes were shattered when Nagy called a timeout by pointing at the Dallas bench.
Kevon Looney disagreed when Andy Nagy gestured to the Dallas bench, but it appeared like the official explained that he was designating a timeout when Looney raised his hand. Dallas had also been given control of the ball, as the public address announcer added.
Shortly after the break, the Mavericks set up on their offensive end, which allowed Kevon Looney to score an easy dunk without any defenders in his way. With just 1 minute, and 56 seconds left in the third quarter, this score gave the Warriors a 90-87 lead.
Mark Cuban expressed dissatisfaction by tweeting his opinion.
“For those wondering about the play with 1:54 to go on the 3rd, let me explain what happened. The ref called Mavs ball . The announcer announced it. Then there was a timeout . During the time out the official changed the call and never told us. Then when they saw us line up as if it were our ball, he just gave the ball to the warriors. Never said a word to us They got an easy basketball. Crazy that it would matter in a 2 point game. Worst officiating non call mistake possibly in the history of the NBA .”
The Dallas Coach Jason Kidd claims that the uncertainty resulted from official Michael Smith’s mistaken belief that the Mavericks controlled the ball since he was in the same position.
He said that some people were out of position, and it needed to be a mistake to correct it.
While Sean Wright, the crew leader, denied that the officials had said the Dallas Mavericks had the ball in their possession. He continued by saying that the Mavericks could see Andy Nagy telling them that his second signal was for the timeout.
The game’s star player for Dallas, Luka Doncic, was replaced during the timeout, although Kevon Looney had already taken Stephen Curry’s spot on the court two minutes earlier. The inbounds pass to Looney, who made the simple dunk, was thrown by Jordan Poole.
Looney, who scored a double-double in the game after finishing with s score of 12 points and 12 rebounds, said he wasn’t sure what was going on at the moment but was glad that Jordan Poole had handed the ball to him.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr initially questioned whether his team intended to shoot at the end where they had lined up when the scene occurred.
Mark Cuban has 48 hours after the game’s end to submit a formal objection in line with NBA regulations. The Warriors will have five days to respond and provide evidence afterward. Ultimately, Commissioner Adam Silver will have an additional five days to consider and decide on the matter.
