The United Center was already nearly emptied when referees determined that there was still 0.5 seconds remaining in Wednesday's contest between the 76ers and Bulls. The game clock had inadvertently started during Philadelphia's final possession, and referees determined it would get a second chance to get off a go-ahead basket, following review.
Players from both teams had already hit the locker room. Most re-emerged for the game's final play. Except for Chicago's Otto Porter, who had been summoned for a postgame drug test. By the time his teammates had gone back out to the court, Porter wasn't able to join them.
