If you have "definitive" knowledge of the time, you can always adjust the play clock, but only if you have "definitive" knowledge.
Hope this helps.

I wouldn't go there.
I'm not going to split hairs if the game ends up being 32:02 long.

I may be in the minority here, but if this happens in one of my games, if even a single player pauses for even a moment, I'm hitting my whistle and stopping play. I don't think it's fair if one team gains an advantage because players from the other team instinctively stop play, even if briefly. After all, if this happens mid quarter or so and the ball carrier picks up their dribble and begins to walk to me to hand me the ball, no way I'm calling them for a travel.
