If you didn’t think the Portland Trail Blazers’ historic season-opening loss versus the Golden State Warriors Wednesday night could get any worse, you’d be wrong. The game marked the largest loss on opening night in Portland franchise history, as the Warriors won running away, 139-104.
However, that’s what the score read on Wednesday.
Due to the day-late correction of a scorekeeping error, the Blazers’ margin of defeat is now one point larger in the record books. Now, the Warriors officially beat the Blazers, 140-104. The NBA announced the correction on Thursday, explaining what went wrong.
