The officials stuck with the official book and left the two points off.

There is a video that shows the score at 18-6, two free throws that result in the score being 18-8, and then the 2 points being removed (making it 18-6 again) less than 1 minute later (without any field goal scoring). I did see some statements about a field goal discrepancy in the book later in the game - but watching the video, it's clear the scoring error happened at the earlier mark.

Either way, a tough lesson learned for many individuals. Playoff officials, including table officials, need to be top-notch and not screwing around on their phones during live play.
