The Lakers scored with something under a second left, and after review, .4 seconds were put back on the clock.

For purposes of figuring out how much time should remain, what exactly are they looking for on the video? I've always understood (much embarrassment if this is incorrect) that the clock stops on a made goal (when the rules require such a stoppage) when the goal is recognized not when it is scored.

The announcers were of the view that the clock should be reset to when the goal was good, but clearly less time was put on the clock than when the ball completed its trip through the basket. What good is video in this situation, and what is being reviewed?
