It’s quite possible .3 seconds went by between the time Lee touched it and let it go, but the referees have to go off of what the clock says. There were .3 seconds on the clock, so via the Trent Tucker rule, Lee legally had enough time to take this shot -- with .1 or .2 seconds remaining, he would’ve needed a tap.
