Carmelo Anthony Collapses On Court But Play Still Continues (WTF?!?!)

This might be one of the weirdest things I've ever seen happen during a basketball game.  People get hurt and fall down all the time but usually play stops immediately after. Not this time.

Carmelo Anthony bumped into Kevin Durant on a drive to the hoop and gave himself a "stinger" which caused him to collapse to the ground and possibly pass out for a few seconds.  The refs blew the whistle and called a travel on him so there was a stoppage in play where they could have waited for him to get up but instead, they just gave the ball to the OKC Thunder to continue play. WTF?!?!  Why would they do that?  I've never seen something like that before in my life.   

Then to make it weirder, the Nuggets stole the ball back immediately and J.R. Smith drove to the hoop while trying to avoid Carmelo who was still lying on the ground.  Wouldn't you at least call a timeout if you knew your teammate was still on the ground?  That was just a messed up sequence of events all around.  You'll probably never see something like that again...
