The closest thing I've heard to a definitive answer in this thread so far is that if the missing point in the book is discovered before the OT toss leaves the Ref's hands, the game is over.
I suggest this is unfair to the losing team because they might have played the end of the 4th quarter differently if they'd known they were one point behind. Perhaps they'd have attempted a 3-pointer instead of a 2-pointer!
The winning team had every opportunity to question the score on the scoreboard thru the end of the 4th quarter. They didn't. So the game should go into overtime based on the erroneous scoreboard tie at the end of the 4th Q. The missing point would be added whenever it was discovered - either during intermission or during the OT.
