The Dallas Mavericks are in a tough spot right now despite brilliant performances from superstar Luka Doncic. After three straight losses, the team has gone from playoff contention to out of the play-in picture. Even though the Mavs can still make the play-in tournament, they will have to rely on their opponents’ slip-ups. They could have enhanced their chances had they won their game against the Golden State Warriors, since the Dubs are also in the fighting. But after the Mavs lost the game 127-125, there were reports that Mark Cuban was planning to protest the loss alleging a referee mistake.

There was a major mishap in the third quarter of the game between the Mavericks and the reigning champions. The Warriors in-bounded the ball and got an easy slam without any opponents in sight. Because every Mavs player was at the other end. This prompted a fiasco that had a lot of drama in store for the NBA fraternity.

Luka Doncic and the Mavs gave up a basket in a shocking play

The play caused major confusion when the game was aired. Many thought the Dallas Mavericks forgot to defend the right basket. Owner Mark Cuban took to social media to talk about the confusion and vent his frustration. He wrote on Twitter, “The ref called Mavs ball. The announcer announced it. Then there was a timeout . During the time out the official changed the call and never told us.”

Cuban noted how crucial two points are in a game the team lost by two. He slammed the referees for not informing the team despite seeing the players line up at the opposite end of the court. Notably, the significance of the game was high considering both teams’ fight for a playoff spot.
