Fortunately, Heath says, in every instance in which he, for instance, thought he saw a referee hold up three fingers when it actually was four, he has been able to quickly announce a clarification. Usually it’s because one of the referees or someone at the scorer’s table corrected him.

Until Wednesday night, that is. Heath announced “Dallas ball” with 1:59 left in the third quarter of the Mavericks’ eventual two-point loss to the Warriors.
