In a recent NBA matchup where the Oklahoma City Thunder claimed a 120-114 victory over the Indiana Pacers, an unusual oversight by the referees added a humorous twist to the game.<\/p>\n

According to NBA regulations, teams are supposed to switch goals at halftime. However, it seems the referees missed this rule as they mistakenly directed the Thunder to defend the incorrect basket at the start of the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

Ajay Mitchell, a guard for the Thunder, was the first to notice the mix-up. With this realization, Mitchell attempted to exploit the situation by heading towards the correct basket, while his confused opponents and teammates watched.<\/p>\n

The error was quickly corrected by the officials, who reset the game with both teams heading in the correct directions for the remainder of the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

Such incidents are rare sights in professional basketball.<\/p>\n
