I’m not too sure why people are criticising the umpires for leaving the arena immediately at the end of play – they ALWAYS do. In this instance, they obviously hadn’t left the venue as they returned when a decision to play ET was finally made.
After almost an hour after normal play ceased, this was a dumb decision. They should have just called it a draw and split the points (unfair to both teams, but the least unfair result).
If Giants were aware of the score discrepancy and the error was in the 3rd Q, why hadn’t they challenged the score at 3Q time?
How did both scorers make the same error?
