But i believe most folks here would just ignore it and end the game after White scored making Black's buzzer beater irrelevant.

Under FIBA (that's the international rule set) rules, the clock stops after a made basket when under two minutes in the 4th quarter or any overtime periods. Similar to the NBA rule (except they stop the clock on a made basket when under a minute in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarters and final two minutes of the 4th and any OT), and NCAA rule (final minute of the 2nd half and/or OT).
As to your second point, how did you come to that conclusion? Everything that's been discussed so far as come on the premise, the very one you gave us, that it was the end of a game where the winner/loser is not in doubt. Contrast that with the video where a buzzer beater wins the game for a team. Two different scenarios.
