The game had one extra minute of playing time BY ACCIDENT!
During the third quarter, the clock was reversed from 1:14 to 2:20 while there was no reason for this to happen!
The play by play was also massively wrong during that time.
It shows Russell dishing an assist, although according to the same play by play he was benched when that action took place. Same for some Memphis plays that happened around that time.
In the end, the incorrect/mixed events come from the fact that there was one minute that was duplicated since the clock was reversed.
Since I can’t post any images or video together with the text, you can find more evidence on [this tweet](https://twitter.com/3StepsBasket/status/1779239672402546987) (or please watch the 3rd quarter).

It’s wild that you made me watch the 3rd quarter again. It honestly just seems like a legit mistake.
There’s a shot clock violation at 2:20 and then a shot clock violation at 1:16 which isn’t called right away and the refs have to call it while the clock keeps running and then resets the clock back at 2:20 instead of 1:16. Just looks like a legit mistake.
The Lakers scored 4 points in that extra minute. Only fair they get subtracted from the final score. Grizzlies win 120-119.
