Report: Mavericks File Official Protest of Loss to Hawks

The Mavericks have filed an official protest following a late overturned goaltending call in Dallas's loss to the Hawks on Saturday, according to the New York Time's Marc Stein.

The protest reportedly cites a "misapplication of the rules" in regards to John Collins's game-deciding bucket for Atlanta. The officials first ruled the basket as a goaltend, but later reversed the call and counted the score upon review. The Hawks held on for a four-point victory.

In their protest, the Mavericks reportedly want the last 9.7 seconds of the game to be replayed.
