But also remember that he didn't give away the game. Remember that your job is "to see that the team that plays better during that game, wins". If the score is tied with 1.3 seconds to go, it's pretty much a toss-up. The team that lost, lost because of the missed free-throws, the stupid fouls, the errant passes, and the ill-advised shots, not because of a call or two at the end of the game.
Although that is correct we are still looking at this from an official's point of view. We MUST get plays correct in the last 2 minutes of the game. If the same play is called incorrectly in the first 3 minutes of a game the team has time to recover. Calling a play incorrectly so late in the game doesn't give the team a chance to recover from the call.
