Doncic and Cuban against the refs: serious mistake in Mavs Vs GSW?

The controversial incident in the third quarter between the Warriors and Mavericks sparks controversy after the game: protests from Doncic and Cuban

Mark Cuban will contest to the NBA the two points that the Golden State Warriors scored in the third quarter, with 1’59” left. The score was 88-87, and initially, the ball was awarded to the Mavs, but during the timeout called by coach Steve Kerr, the referees changed their decision.

When the two teams returned to the court, the entire GSW lineup was in attack – as were the Mavs, on the other side of the court – and after the ball was put in play, Kevon Looney scored two very easy points for 88-89.

They changed the call and didn’t tell us. Then, when they saw us back on the court, they gave the ball to the Warriors without ever telling us. It’s incredible how much it weighs in a game that ends with a two-point difference

Cuban, who criticized the referees’ decision in the post-game interview, calling it “one of the worst non-calls in NBA history”, has 48 hours to file an official protest with the league.

Luka Doncic also spoke to the media about the incident after the match, which remained unclear in its dynamics.

When I saw Kevon Looney, I wondered what was going on. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life

This defeat for the Mavs is very heavy since it further complicates their standing. The fight for the post-season in the Western Conference is one of the most intense in recent years.
