A clock malfunction in the third quarter helped Detroit in their 100-93 win over Orlando on Monday night, John Denton of Florida Today is reporting.

At the end of the third quarter, the game clock malfunctioned twice during the play when Billups' three-pointer would put Detroit up 78-76. The clock started and stopped incorrectly, going from 5.1 seconds to 4.8 seconds and then finally stopping at 4.1 seconds.

The three officials met at midcourt for almost two minutes, eventually ruling that the shot would have gotten off before the buzzer. However, a TNT replay later showed that the play, in which there were three passes between Billups and Rodney Stuckey, actually took 5.23 seconds.
