The NBA has denied a protest by the Dallas Mavericks of their March 22 loss to the Golden State Warriors.

Mavericks players and head coach Jason Kidd contested the play on the court. Owner Mark Cuban then tweeted that officials initially signaled that possession belonged to the Mavericks on the play. Per Cuban, officials changed the call to Warriors possession during a timeout and didn't inform the Mavericks."Initially, on the floor, the original signal was, in fact, Golden State ball as this can be seen on video," Wright said.

Video of the out-of-bounds play in question shows the baseline official initially pointing toward the Warriors side, then pointing back toward the Mavericks' end of the floor. Looney protested the second call, clearly under the impression the official had signaled Mavericks ball. According to the ESPN broadcast, the public address announcer said that it was Mavericks ball.

For anyone who hasn't seen it, here's the odd sequence that led to the Warriors essentially two free points in Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
