Knicks file protest for controversial end-game call in loss to Rockets

The New York Knicks have filed a protest to the NBA to dispute the controversial end-game foul call that resulted in a loss to the Houston Rockets, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

According to the report, the Knicks decided to file the protest after chief referee Ed Malloy admitted to the media after the game that the foul called on Knicks guard Jalen Brunson was incorrectly called.

ANALYSIS: It remains to be seen how the NBA handles this protest, as this situation is very rare. In the league’s entire history, there have been only six protests that have been upheld, according to ESPN Stats and Information.
