I don't believe it works this way. I believe the intermission ends when the ball becomes live to begin the quarter.

Nowhere in the rules does it say the intermission ends when the ball becomes live to begin the quarter.
Rule 2-12-4: "The timer shall sound a warning signal 15 seconds before the
expiration of an intermission or a time-out, immediately after which the players shall prepare to resume play, and signal again at the
end of the intermission or time-out."
The end of the intermission and the ball becoming live to start the period are not necessarily simultaneous events.
