Because the ball became dead when the shot scored, and the two points tied the game, the free throws should have started the overtime period.

Sounds like you're contradicting yourself.
First you say that if a technical foul occurs after the ball has become dead to end the second half the next quarter is started by administering the free throws. Meaning we go to overtime.
Then you said that if the outcome is not already decided, the free throws are attempted immediately as if the foul had been part of the fourth quarter. This would mean the free throws are attempted now, and making one of them means the game is over without overtime being played.
So which is it?
