well I just looked up his stats quickly, and he was 28-32 from the line that game.
I'm not gonna pretend I know for sure, I just read it somewhere (can't even remember where).
edit: just reading a couple recaps from the game, it seems your right and he just had a hot night from the free throw line. I guess the info I read was wrong, it appears the rule had already been changed. My bad.
