Knicks incredulous after clock mix-up in final second: ‘What did you expect?’

The clock started as soon as the ball hit the rim, instead of when a player touched it. By rule, an inadvertent whistle gives possession to the team who grabbed the rebound. Detroit wound up getting a free timeout out of the error.
However, the Pistons threw the ball away, and the Knicks survived with a 118-116 Game 3 victory to take a 2-1 lead in the opening-round series.
