KC's screenshot tells a different story though
remember, the game is over when the clock hits 0.0, not when the lights go on, and the lights went on a split second after the clock hit 0.0.

Something should be done about the refs...like they should receive an award of some kind for making such a great call.

I think they had conclusive evidence or they would have done the safe thing and sent it into OT.
My buddy tells me they reviewed the tape for a long time. He said they went into 2 commercial breaks because they were taking so long. I doubt they would have taken that long if it was inconclusive.
Tonight, in the New Jersey game, that dunk by Boone near the end of the game shouldn't have counted. Thank god it did...but that ball did not leave his hands before the shot clock buzzer went off.
