NBA question. can the video be reviewed during the game to determine who has possession?

just saw it in the clippers-bobcats game
someone on the bobcats had the ball, went for the layup, and lost it out of bounds due to some contact. then the referees stopped the game and checked the video to see who the ball belonged to
the commentators were confused, and so was i, since i have not seen this happen too often

its a new rule this year and yes they have been doing this
edit: I remember they review 3 point shots now during commercials and out of bound plays if there is a dead ball or commercial as well

pretty sure if its under 2 minutes they can review anything.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's like last two minutes or something. And they review an out of bounds call for possession.
