The decision the referees made on a contentious bucket during the Dallas Mavericks vs. Golden State Warriors game on Wednesday drew criticism.

The on-court officials notified the Mavericks during their timeout in the third quarter that they would be in possession of the ball. Referees, however, changed their minds and permitted the Warriors to inbound.
