Down 101-96 with 28 seconds to go, the Knicks got a quick three-pointer by Jalen Brunson to fall thanks to an advantageous bounce off the side rim. On the ensuing inbound, Philadelphia tried to find point guard Tyrese Maxey, who was hounded by Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo.
Philadelphia implored that Maxey was fouled, and the officials appeared to miss the timeout that Philadelphia head coach Nick Nurse was trying to call during that dooming inbound.
That was fing unacceptable. Philadelphia should not hold its breath for any sort of admittance of wrongdoing from the league. The Knicks protested a Feb. 12 loss to the Houston Rockets after officials determined after the game that a foul by Brunson on a three-point attempt, which set up the Rockets' game-winning free throws, should not have been called.
The league, however, denied the team's protest and did not overturn the result.
