The rules provide that I may end the game, and I would.

A fouls out all but one player and has a five point lead with 30 seconds to play. B can clearly take the lead in this time, but A has a chance to win. You appear saying that if you believe that Team B can take the lead, you will ignore the fact that Team A has a chance to win and determine that the game is immediately a forfeit. Your rule is that if B has a chance to win, A forfeits. The rule does not read that way. It says that if you think that A has a chance to win, it is not a forfeit.
The rule is written under the assumption that when you have gotten down to two players the game is likely over, when you get to one you can end it painlessly by declaring a forfeit. But it does not say that you should decalre a forfeit when A has the lead, because A clearly has a chance to win if they have any lead at all.
