Rockets File Protest over Clippers Loss Because of Error on Foul CallScott PolacekGeorge Bridges/Associated PressAfter losing to the Los Angeles Clippers 128-118 Friday, the Houston Rockets reportedly filed a protest regarding the outcome.On Sunday, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reported the protest stemmed from the referees incorrectly assessing Jawun Evans' sixth foul to teammate Lou Williams, which allowed Evans to remain in the game.
