Guess we need someone to youtube this one for us.
There's a video at the link in the OP, and it's hard to tell on my screen for sure, but it looks like the timer lets the clock run all the way down after the ball is thrown. So, when it was thrown, the clock was stopped (presumably at .5, it's hard for me to tell).

I can't hear the horn, either, so that's hard to tell.

If that's correct, then you've got the cheerleaders on the court celebrating with time still on the clock.

Now, another question is coaching. Why in the world would he take that shot?
