NBA: The Knicks have requested a game review

The match, played on Monday, ended with a foul that ended up deciding the game. There is a request to fight the closure again.

The NBA closes a very special week in what will be a break for the All Star Weekend, where the most important stars of the competition will face off to showcase their talent. But the run-up to this great event was a series of events that caused people to communicate on different portals around the world. Triple doubles that remain in history, candidates separate themselves at the top and an extra fight not to lose at the table. In that context, on Monday we had a rivalry that was important for the New York Knicks, but they ended up losing against the Houston Rockets, in a close full of controversy.

This Tuesday, the Knicks made a formal protest to the NBA demanding that the final portion of the game against the Texan franchise be replayed. What is the reason for this request? Because the referee’s team, and the competition itself, admitted to calling a foul at the last second that shouldn’t have been called. With 3 tenths left on the game clock, Aaron Holiday stood at the line of scrimmage, where he would have three free throws. He made the first two, missing the third, so that his rival did not have time to take a shot. After some closing arguments, the teams retired to the locker rooms.

“After reviewing the game after the game, the attacking player was able to return to the normal position on the court. Contact occurs after the ball is released. Therefore, it was incidental and marginal to the throw attempt, and should not have been called,” said referee Ed Malloy. The same situation was repeated by the NBA in the report of the last two minutes. This led to the increase of the Knicks’ request to continue the game. game in the final minutes at some point in the season; as these two franchises will never meet again.

There are not many times that these claims reach an agreement between the parties, and in fewer cases than the game, in fact, is repeated. The last time this happened was in 2007, when the Miami Heat filed a protest in a game where Shaquille O’Neal was ejected, despite not committing all six infractions. The defining stage of the game is repeated, but except that the intern is no longer part of the franchise. The story remained unchanged and the Hawks once again celebrated against the natives of Florida.
