Interesting. Aren't NCAA and high school rules that the clock stops when the successful goal is "recognized," which is different from the NBA rule if it really is when the basket is "successful."

Again, I wasn't suggesting that anything was incorrectly called in the Laker game. I was asking what the video review is used to confirm. If the NBA clock stoppage is truly when the basket is scored, that's easy -- it's when the ball either passes through the basket (which includes the net) or when it rests in the goal. In leagues where the clock stops when the basket is "recognized," that seems to be a different question. You often see it in college where the video is consulted to see how much time should but put back on the clock after a made basket with 59.9 or fewer seconds left, but again I'm wondering what they are looking at if the appropriate question is when the basket is "recognized."
