NBA Denies Rockets Protest Of Spurs Game

The Rockets and Spurs will not have re-play part of their game from last week. The NBA rejected a protest by Houston over the 135-133 loss despite claims a referee mistake had an impact on the game. The refs ruled James Harden committed basket interference on a dunk in the fourth quarter then rejected a Coach's Challenge. The NBA says the refs misapplied the rules but believes Houston had plenty of time to overcome the mistake. The refs have been disciplined.
