I know the NBA mechanic is to allow play to continue if a play is fully developed in this situation, and determine afterwards how much time should have come off. I wonder if one of the officials caught the stopped clock and started a mental count. But 4.6? Seems awfully precise for a guess.

I agree that they can try to figure out what time had moved, but they cannot use a clock or there is no device to tell them how much time should have gone off the clock. And the shot was attempted right at when the time would have expired according to the clock ESPN used.
