The paper reported this as a 3-point game, but that's not how it finished. I know, I was there.

I went over to talk to the scorer/timer on the final timeout and there was no discrepancy between the book and the scoreboard -- at least as they knew it then.

If it was a 3-point game, the last possession would've meant something. As it was, the home player jacked up a 3 from the corner and the home coach was already yelling for a timeout while the ball was in the air -- except that the shot missed and the V player rebounded it and ran out the remaining 2 seconds. Definitely a 5 point game. Wonder how it ended up 3 in the paper (with matching boxscore).
