Tough call at a tough time in a tough game...

I read an account recently of something that happened a few years back in a NBA game. I know that the Bucks were one team, but I'm not sure who the other one was.

Anywho, Team A is down by 2 points, less than 5 seconds to go. A1 throws a hail-mary up on the buzzer and it drops - Team A win the game. The bench for Team A is understandably elated, and rush onto the court to congratulate A1. The referee calls a technical foul on the bench for coming onto the court, B1 shoots two free throws and Team B wins the game by 1.

A few things don't sound right about this story. First, you said the horn sounded, so the game is over. Why would it be a technical foul to run onto the floor at that point? Second, in the NBA, a technical foul only results in one FT, not two. Are you sure about these facts?
