Similar to when you have 2 people hold each end of the rope (net) and one whips the rope down. The 'whipper' gets a reaction when the wave comes back from the opposite stationary point (rim). I think the 'grazing' may have also had an impact in starting or at least contributing to the the 'wave' action of the net.
Thanks. Interesting. Still, I would bet if Harden tried it 100 times or more he couldn't duplicate it.

No, but he might get 98 foul calls instead. It's why I don't feel too bad about him getting stiffed on that basket. I think he got like 24 free throws in that game and likely whined about not getting even more.

I'm sure the refs handed back those two points to him at some point in time.

If the ball got stuck in the net, what would the ruling be?

It appears from the replays I saw the net flip the ball up out and around the cylinder and due to the spin and force dropped the ball back on top of the rim. Two reasons why I think that... One on the replays as the ball is coming up out of the cylinder the rim behind it is blocked. If the ball had rebounded out from inside you would be able to see front of the rim. The second reason is that the net also comes up and is folded over the top of the rim from the front which it could not do if the net flipped back up from the inside....

IMHO NBA blew this one big time....
