NEW YORK (AP) — Golden State’s blowout win at Portland on Wednesday got a little better on Thursday. One point better, to be precise. 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 on Thursday, changing the final score from 139-104 to 140-104.
