The game's not over and the crowd comes onto the court like this? If it takes more time to clear up and start immediately than if they had not come on the floor....darned right I'd have a technical foul.

I was thinking of the same thing.

In that game, there were still 1.7 seconds left in the game and the fans inexplicably rushed the court. But to me, there's no difference between time being left on the clock and the game not being over due to overtime. The fans don't belong on the court during the game. It's not safe for the players, the officials, anybody.
