The backboard LED lights are tied in to the official time. They aren't human controlled.

The rule states clear and conclusive evidence to overturn the call. It also states they only get 2 minutes to do so. The rules weren't followed in the decision, but hey, it's the NBA. We've seen the integrity of their officiating over the last few years.
