In a fantastic blowout by the Toronto Raptors over the Milwaukee Bucks apparently the scorers table had an error and got lost in the shuffle.
The NBA has made a scoring change early this season, when they took away a Tripe-Double from Cleveland Cavaliers former MVP forward LeBron James.
The league went back and determined that Milwaukee Bucks forward, John Henson, was remarkably scored with a three-point field goal for a shot he made from just about right in front of the basket with under 2 minutes to go during the 42 point blowout the Raptors had over the Milwaukee Bucks.
Here’s the official word from the NBA.
The NBA announced today that a scoring error was made during the Milwaukee Bucks-Toronto Raptors game on Nov. 21 at Air Canada Centre, which impacted the final score of the game but not the final outcome of the game.
Bucks forward John Henson was incorrectly credited with a 3-point field goal when he made a jump shot in the lane with 1:44 remaining in the fourth quarter. The game statistics have been corrected and the final score of the game is Toronto 124, Milwaukee 82. Henson’s scoring total has been changed to six points in the official box score.
All NBA games are reviewed to ensure the accuracy of the game statistics. Below is a link to video of Henson’s shot:

Well, in the grand scheme of things, this really doesn’t mean anything, unless you have John Henson on your fantasy basketball team. No lines, over/unders or anything to do with gambling was affected either. Sorry Henson owners.
