I wonder how we would rule if the player got the ball at 1.5 sec and...
1) just stood there inbounds, holding the ball, as the clock ran out.
2) ...or stood there inbounds dribbling in place, as the clock ran out.
3) ...or stood inbounds and slowly dribbled toward his bench as the clock ran out.
Different shades of grey?

Sometimes you need to officiate.
And, in the plays above, it might depend on the score. In the OP, the score was tied and the team was trying to advance the ball quickly to get off a shot. Don't let them have that advantage. If both teams are happy going to OT, or if A is up and B is out of TOs, then with 1.5, you can probably let time expire.
