a precedent for the replay of the Denver/L.A game's conclusion...

Per an article in the online version of the Athens Daily News/Athens 
Banner-Herald from April 15, 1998:

"In 1982-83, the final three seconds of a Lakers-Spurs game were replayed 
after San Antonio successfully argued that an incorrect call was made on a 
double-lane violation when Lakers guard Norm Nixon faked a free throw and 
caused players from both teams to enter the lane.

     Referee Jack Madden called for a jump ball, the Lakers made a 
last-second shot and the game went into double-overtime, with Los Angeles 
eventually winning 137-132.

     San Antonio protested that since the ball never left Nixon's hands, 
the players should have been repositioned to await the foul shot.

     Commissioner Larry O'Brien agreed, and the final three seconds were 
replayed 41/2 months later, with the Spurs winning 117-114 in regulation."
