A scoring error that occurred in the Golden State Warriors' season-opening win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday has been corrected one day after the game was played.
The NBA announced on Thursday that De'Anthony Melton has been credited with an extra point and the final score of the game has been changed to a 140-104 win for the Warriors due to an incorrect missed free throw assessed late in the third quarter.
Yahoo Sports' Jack Baer noted it's "uncommon" for the NBA to announce a mistake and change the final score in part because it could fall under the misapplication of the official playing rules.
