The petition of the Dallas Mavericks over the referees decision in a loss to the Atlanta Hawks was rejected. Dallas asked for the final 8.4 seconds to be replayed. However, NBA found the demand ungrounded.

In addition, team owner Mark Cuban was fined $500,000. After the game he got on Twitter rant for the decision of the referees to count Atlanta’s John Collins basket, after a goaltending call was overturned with 8.4 seconds remaining. Cuban also twice went on court in final minutes of the game to confront referees.
