STAR-TELEGRAM STARS GAMEDAY DALLAS Controversy ensued late in Sunday contest between the Dallas Ma- vericks and Houston Rockets. With the score tied at 92-92 at Toyota Center, Rockets guard James Harden was fouled by Wesley Matthews, and the clock ran all the way down to 0.1 seconds left in the game. Harden missed the first free throw attempt, but made the second one to give the Rockets a 93-92 victory. The Mavericks argued that crew chief Ken Mauer and the other two referees should have used instant replay to determine if more time should have been put back on the clock.

If more time would have been placed on the game clock, that would have given the Mavs more time to negotiate a pos- sible game-winning shot. That happen. After the game and at the request of the Maver- icks, pool reporter Brian T. Smith of the Houston Chronicle asked Mauer why the time re- maining reviewed when the clock was sitting at 0.1 seconds. Mauer essentially acknowledged that replay in this case was not an option available to him.
