No, this isn't apparent at all, as the discrepancy could have happened in the third quarter.

1. No, that question is neither implied by nor properly inferred from the OP. First of all, from the perspective of an official, it's impossible to make sure the two are talking and comparing during the game. That's as far from our purview as players' jewelry is from yours. Secondly, how to fix a problem is a completely different issue from how to prevent it (which is often times known by the OP.)

2. You may want to provide that information, but it was by no means asked by the OP.

3. Fixed it for you.
