The Nuggets filed an official protest Thursday with the NBA.

A report issued by the NBA examining the last two minutes of Denver’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday said the wrong call was made in awarding the ball to the Grizzlies with less than one second left in the game.

With the Nuggets holding a 107-106 lead and inbounding the ball with 4.7 seconds left, Mike Miller’s inbound pass intended for Danilo Gallinari was tipped into the hands of Mike Conley, who then lost the ball underneath the Nuggets basket as he drove for a go-ahead score. Referees ruled that the ball touched the fingertips of Emmanuel Mudiay as the ball slipped out of Conley’s hands and went out of bounds, a call that held up upon replay review.

The Grizzlies then inbounded the ball with 0.7 seconds left to Marc Gasol, who caught the ball and made the game-winning shot, dropping the Nuggets to 3-4.

The league’s report said the call on Mudiay was incorrect.

“Upon review of an additional angle postgame, it was determined that Mudiay did not touch the ball and possession should have been awarded to DEN,” the report said.

Nuggets coach Michael Malone fumed over the mistake after the Nuggets’ shootaround Thursday morning. Malone said he wasn’t contacted by the league. Rather, one of his assistants read the 2-minute report, which is available online, and told Malone. The coach then informed general manager Tim Connelly and owner and president Josh Kroenke.

“The replay center is there to make sure those mistakes don’t happen,” Malone said. “All I’ll say on it is this: The replay center failed us the other night. We lost a game — granted, we did a lot of things during that game that didn’t help us win — but when it comes down to a review by the replay center to determine whose ball it is and the ball is awarded to Memphis when it should have been awarded to us, and they therefore take advantage of the situation and score, that’s a very tough pill to swallow.

Later on Thursday, the team filed its protest.

“Commissioner Silver has done a fantastic job championing league transparency and accuracy for teams and fans alike with the addition of in-game video review and the NBA’s Instant Replay Center,” Kroenke said in a statement released by the team. “However, in this case, a reviewable non-judgement call regarding possession was not sufficiently reviewed, and considering the time and score, we feel as if the incorrect ruling had a direct impact on the final outcome of the game.”

There is precedent to the league changing the outcome of a game. The Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat replayed the last 51.9 seconds of a game in 2008 after the official scorers in Atlanta had mistakenly assessed a sixth foul to Shaquille O’Neal. The makeup was scheduled to take place before another game those two teams played later in the season.

“Whether they do it or not, I have no idea,” Malone said.

Injury update. Malone said forwards Wilson Chandler (hamstring) and Darrell Arthur (knee) would both miss Thursday night’s game against the Golden State Warriors.

Will Barton, who will miss his fifth straight game with an ankle injury, said he is “progressing” but does not have a definitive timetable for his return.
