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.

It said the issue was free throws shot at the beginning of the half, and they didn't deal with it until the end of the third quarter.
Even if the officials did remember she made those free throws, there's very little chance that thay can know for sure that discrepancy is due to those points not being counted in the book.
