Blazers score with 6 players on the court
Tuesday night in Portland the Trail Blazers are hosting the Boston Celtics and late in the second quarter were losing to the visitors 44-38. But they got a late first half basket using six players on the court.
A video clip of this has been added below (scroll down).
With 10 seconds left in the half, Portland took a 20-second timeout. A Blazers substitution brought Jerryd Bayless into the game. Greg Oden was supposed to leave the game, but he didn’t.
So, after the timeout, Bayless inbounded the basketball to Steve Blake. With time ticking down, Blake lobbed it down to Oden outside the left paint near the rim, who quickly flipped it to Travis Outlaw on the right side of the paint, who threw down an open dunk.
LaMarcus Aldridge and Rudy Fernandez were also on the court for the Blazers, giving them six players versus Boston’s five.

What?!? The refs didn't take the basket away?!? The refs should've discounted the basket AND issued a technical foul! Geez!

I am not sure why they were awarded a bucket on that play. It's the first time in 15 years of watching basketball that I saw a team field six guys on the court, lol (Oden forgot to get out of the game, apparently). Having an extra guy insures that someone will be open, so it is an automatic easy basket instead of a potential miss on that play.
