A Costly Anticipated Call?

Additionally, the replay clearly shows that the contact occured with 1.5 seconds left in the period. But the officials put 5.5 seconds back up on the clock after the foul was assessed. I have no idea how they came up with that.

The "clock" that was shown on the TV wasn't the "official clock" -- it was a graphic from the ESPN truck (or whatever) (at least according to what I read).

That's why it didn't stop on the made basket and why it was off on the foul.
