The officials had not left the confines of the court for the intermission...could Nevada argue that since the officials had not left and administered the FT's, that this would all be activity during the second quarter?
Apples - halftime
Oranges - end of game.

While the officials often check the book and confer with the scorers' table during halftime, they do not "approve" the halftime score. (To do so would actually go against the rule - what if, late in the 4th, it is discovered that a signaled three was only recorded as 2 in the first quarter? That was approved, so can it be fixed?)
