The NBA has officially denied the New York Knicks' protest regarding their 105-103 loss to the Houston Rockets on February 12, 2024, at Toyota Center. The controversy stemmed from an incorrect foul call against Jalen Brunson while Aaron Holiday was shooting a last-second 3-pointer. The league's decision was based on the premise that the foul call was an 'error in judgement' by the referees and not a 'misapplication of the rules.' This distinction is crucial as the NBA's protest resolution process only addresses misapplications rather than judgment errors. Despite the admission of the mistake, the NBA's stance underscores its policy that not all referee errors can alter game outcomes.
