J.R. Smith, who dribbled out the clock with the score tied in regulation time, didn’t make the only blunder of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Game 1 loss to the Golden State Warriors in the NBA title series round.

The great photo in the BJ gave the score as

Cavaliers 124, Warriors 114 in overtime.

The score was right and the overtime was right.

But the points totals were assigned to the wrong teams.

Another cost of decimating newspaper staffs, including the guardians at the gate, the copy desk.

Marla and everyone else got the score correctly.
