According to ESPN's Marc Stein, the Raptors filed an official protest on Wednesday after the NBA upheld its controversial decision to wave off Terrence Ross' buzzer beater in a 102-99 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Sunday night. The official protest will cost the Raptors $10,000 US, although the team will be reimbursed if the decision is overturned. The Raptors and Kings do not play against each other again in the regular season. Toronto's official protest was the second of the NBA season. However, the league said on Wednesday that a misapplication of the playing rules is required "to justify the extraordinary remedy of granting a game protest and overturning the game's result."
