I worked a game one time where we got down to 2 left on one team(one with 4 fouls) with about 2 minutes left. This team was leading by 6 points at the time. I had this conversation in my mind, and while I don't have my books with me, I recall there being a phrase in there something to the effect of, "if a team gets down to 1 player remaining, it's a forfeit, unless the referee believes they have a reasonable opportunity to win the game." I did remember this at the time, and I was prepared to let the game continue to see if the team with only 2 left was smart enough to run out the clock somehow if they got down to 1 player left.
The team with 2 DID end up winning the game.
