NEW YORK — The Golden State Warriors’ impressive victory at Portland on Wednesday got even more impressive on Thursday, with a slight adjustment to the score.

The NBA announced that there had been an error in the scoring, specifically involving a free throw made by De’Anthony Melton, which had initially been omitted from the record. This miscalculation was identified, resulting in the final score changing from 139-104 to 140-104. The statisticians on duty had inaccurately noted that Melton missed both of his free throw attempts during that play, despite him making the first shot successfully.

This correction means that the Warriors recorded a score of 140 points, marking it as the fourth season opener in the franchise’s history to hit that milestone. In fact, the Warriors once achieved an astonishing 162 points in a season opener against Denver in 1990, which still stands as the NBA record for an opening game. Other notable opening scores for the franchise include 144 points against Seattle in 1967 and 140 against Detroit in 1962.

For the Trail Blazers, this game represented the highest number of points they have ever allowed in a season opener. Previously, the most points surrendered was 129, which occurred in a quadruple-overtime match against Cleveland during the 1974-75 season.

The outcome also marked the largest margin of victory for Golden State in a season opener, while simultaneously recording the most lopsided loss for Portland at the start of a new season. The additional point awarded to the Warriors only served to amplify their achievement and further highlight the difficulties faced by the Trail Blazers in this inaugural game of the season.

Errors in scoring are not a common occurrence in NBA games, as teams have teams of statisticians on hand, and league officials continually monitor stats for accuracy throughout the matches.
