The actions of the game indicate that's what happened, even if the clock operator didn't quite get the message.

There was an NCAA game last year that I saw on ESPN where there were 37 seconds left in a 30 point game and the winning team dribbled to the front court and held the ball. With about 10 seconds left in the game and 8 on the shot clock, the losing team walked over to their bench. The shot clock expired with a horn, but the handshakes already started. The clock operator ran 2 seconds off the clock and the refs left the floor. Thought it was interesting.
