Any NYers with more information?

Are you saying that the team actually took its fifth time-out and was incorrectly charged a technical foul as if it were the sixth charged time-out?

An earlier TO was improperly charged to them.

I feel bad for the team, but I am glad the state did not overturn the protest.
