And the basket is made when the ball clears the net.

BktBallRef is exactly right. According to NBA rules (posted on their website), a basket is considered scored when the ball passes through the net. The clock is to stop in the last two minutes when a basket is "successful", meaning the clock stops when the ball passes through the net.
Are you sure the announcers had it right? If so, that would be the first time in history.
