Portland TV anchor  Meghan Torjussen of WMTW didn’t know this little known fact about professional basketball, but soon found out shortly after concluding the Miami Heat, Boston Celtics game ended in a “tie.”

I realize TV anchors don’t all have an extensive knowledge of sports. However, one would think most understand NBA  games, particularly, NBA playoff games don’t end in ties.

The Celtics won that game in overtime and won again June 5 to take a 3-2 lead in the series.

  1. This comment may do more to promote her career than anything else, it is being played nationally and may be a good thing if she works hard to become a little more knowledgeable in the sports area.

  2. So this happened in Portland, ME and the BDN (from Maine) had to grab a story from Orlando, FL?  I always knew the BDN lacked effort and good journalism practices, but it’s never been this blatant. 

  3. Isn’t it ironic that in this age of so called “enlightenment” there are so many dim bulbs out there.
