Just got this press release from the NBA. And no, I am not making this up…
NBA CORRECTS STATISTICAL ERROR FROM CAVALIERS-KNICKS GAME
NEW YORK, Feb. 6, 2009 – The NBA announced today that a statistical error was made during the Cleveland Cavaliers-New York Knicks game on Feb. 4 at Madison Square Garden.
Cavaliers forward LeBron James was incorrectly credited with a rebound with 39.3 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter that should have been awarded to Cleveland forward Ben Wallace. Due to the correction, James finished Wednesday’s game with nine rebounds – one rebound short of a triple-double – while Wallace ended with two rebounds.
All NBA games are reviewed to ensure the accuracy of the game statistics.
