"A game recap of Wednesday's 131-95 victory, published on Celtics.com and NBA.com, praised Boston's leading scorers Payton Pritchard and Derrick White, in that order."
"That led to an unfortunate headline, which Memphis Grizzlies beat writer Sharon Shy Brown captured in a timely screenshot on Thursday:"
"Ah. The verb has since been updated to this: Better. Definitely better."
Boston defeated its opponent 131-95, with Payton Pritchard and Derrick White leading the scoring. A recap listed Pritchard before White, and the resulting headline produced an unintended or awkward reading. A Memphis Grizzlies beat writer captured a screenshot of the original headline and shared it publicly. The headline text was promptly edited to change the verb and remove the awkward implication. Observers noted the updated phrasing as an improvement, and the corrected headline replaced the original miswording to better reflect the intended praise order.
