Orlando got screwed

The officials homered Orlando badly at the end of the 3rd Q last night, allowing a critical 3-pointer that PROBABLY came after 5.1 seconds. The scorer, a Detroit official, probably failed to start the clock in order to give the Pistons more time. But regardless, the OBVIOUSLY correct call in that situation would have been to just re-set the clock to 5.1 seconds and run the play over. Instead, the refs just awarded Detroit a 3, and gave Orlando no time to effectively respond. What a crock...
