The league has kept their mouths shut on plenty of controversial plays before. And this wasn't a rule interpretation; it was a judgement call. A call, I might add, that was so close that you had to have the camera zoom-in to see where contact was actually made. It wasn't as if it was displacement or a clear hold.
But I "understand" where that came from, as that apology was due to the politics within the NBA and a future superstar within the league, and not about the officials themselves.
