Same old, same old.....
From that story, we really don't have a clue what actually happened. The story said "the officials had no choice but to take the two points off the board even though Sells had made both free throws." Very obviously, the officials do have a choice under the rules of adding the points into the scorebook. It was not a correctable error; it was a bookkeeping error and as such can be corrected at any time. I'm guessing but the probable explanation is that the officials did not have the definite knowledge needed to change the book.
As usual, if you want the truth you have to get it from the officials, not a newspaper account. And right now, we don't know the truth.
