Could the Hawks be subject to yet another protest?

According to the Globe and Mail, the Raptors are still considering filing an official protest regarding how they lost to the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night.

According to the report, it appeared the game clock started a fraction of a second too early and cost Toronto an apparent win. T.J. Ford made a layup at the buzzer but it was waived away.

Teams have 48 hours to lodge a protest and it costs $10,000 (U.S.) to submit it to the league office.

"I think it counted, I would have to say we were [robbed]," Ford said after practice yesterday. "If you look at the replay, it's evident that they did start the clock early."

According to NBA spokesman Tim Frank, the clock was started because Hawks forward Al Horford tipped the ball after the pass was made by Delfino.
