Oooops.

This happens sometimes in sports — a game looks over or a moment happens and an announcer prematurely calls it, only to be wrong.

That happened badly on Monday night, with the Philadelphia 76ers up six points on the New York Knicks with under 47 seconds left. Alaa Abdelnaby said, “The goal is getting homecourt advantage by winning one of the two games on the road. Job done. Let’s head down to the turnpike.”

Kate Scott added that the postgame show would be “fun.” And then? Well, it all fell apart for the Sixers and the job was not, in fact, done as the Knicks scored two threes and won Game 2.
