The NBA found a scoring error, one where the Warriors weren't credited with a free throw that De'Anthony Melton made with 2 minutes left in the third quarter. The league revealed the miscue Thursday, changing the final score from 139-104 to 140-104. Statisticians at the game recorded Melton as having missed both free throws in that sequence, even though Melton made the first one. It became the fourth 140-point season opener in Warriors franchise history. Golden State scored 162 points -- an NBA record for an opener -- against Denver in 1990, the San Francisco Warriors scored 144 against Seattle in 1967, and San Francisco scored 140 against Detroit in 1962. -via ESPN / October 25, 2024
