error in your code is because you initialize map = [[], []] that is map is an array containing two elements only which are again arrays. But you are trying to access map[2] which is undefined. A better solution would be to initialize map as an empty array and inside first for loop push arrays to map as required.

data = "012021111"
function isGameOver(data){
var map = [];
var index = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    map.push([]);
    for (var j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
        map[i][j] = data[index];
        console.log("index: " +index+ ",i: " + i + ",j: " + j + ", data: " + map[i][j]);
        index++;             
    }            
}        
 }

isGameOver(data);
