Kind of sad that every single one of us (with one late exception) knew right away without looking it up that this is not a try, and had to pass through the basket before the buzzer to count... yet the guy getting paid big bucks for a televised game did not.

I understand now. I am first year guy and still learning the ins and outs of the rule book. Thanks.

Let's say that the player who "shot" that ball into the wrong basket, did so by releasing the ball behind the 3-point line, AND it went through the basket before the game clock buzzer sounded/light went on.

Are there points scored, and if so, how many?

It would be 2 pts. (5-2)

2 points is correct. No books on me, so I can't comment on the reference.
