NEW YORK -- After further review, the play stands as called.

Not because it was right, but because referees weren't allowed to determine it was wrong.

NBA officials were already considering expanding referees' instant replay options before two key plays in this postseason couldn't be changed even after refs saw them on the monitor.

For now, the rules are clear about what referees can look at. But Commissioner Adam Silver said the league will "inevitably" reach a point where they can do more.

"So far, in terms of all of our triggers, we've tried to maintain a line of what is clearly objectively ascertainable," Silver said Thursday. "You know, foot on the line or not, buzzer or not. My sense is where we'll end up is giving the referees more discretion over what they can look at once we go to replay."
