During the Lakers-Grizzlies game, an error occurred where the game clock was mistakenly reset to 2:20 instead of 1:14 in the third quarter, leading to the teams playing an extra 1:06 minutes out of a 13:06 minutes third quarter. This oversight was not caught by the teams, referees, game clock operator, or the stats crew in real time. As a result, the game extended to 49 minutes. The NBA later confirmed the mistake, acknowledging that the error went unnoticed by all parties involved during the game. Additionally, the last two-minute report revealed that the Lakers benefited from three incorrect calls in the final two minutes, two of which would have negated Lakers points and given the Grizzlies possession, alongside two shot clock violations that contributed to the confusion.
