Embarrassing ... but kind of a dumb nit for the officials to pick.

Perhaps, an NBA rule dictated that they had no choice in the matter...the refs walk off with the .2 left on the clock and they face a fine form the league.
Just speculating.

The officials handled this correctly by rule. By rule, they have to put .2 back on the clock w/the shot clock violation. By rule, there has to be 5 players on the court for each team...or it's a technical foul.

In fairness the game clock did run out and the horn sounded. I think they actually thought the whole game was over.
