Why did they put up 1.8s to end the first Q?

Green got the shot off in time and the clock expired when it still was in the air? I know it doesn't matter and Miami didn't score in these 1.8, but why did they put the time back on?

On a shot-clock violation, a team cannot use more than 24 second if they don't hit the rim on their shot. Since Green missed, the turnover stopped the clock with 1.8 seconds left. The Spurs started the possession with 25.8 seconds on the game clock.

it didn't hit the rim so a shot clock violation occurred because of the violation, the clock gets set to whatever time the violation occured

Ah. OK. Thx.

Yeah I thought this was odd. I thought the difference was 1.3 seconds between shot clock and game clock, yet they were given 1.8 seconds after the violation.

There were a whole lot of dodgy calls in the first half that ALL went the way of Miami. This should have been a 50+ win.

Thems the rules.

Obviously TP has to teach Green how to squeeze out a couple extra seconds on the shot clock.
