unlimited overtime

I just finished watching the Pistons lose to the Nets in triple overtime, in a messy, wacky, frustrating, but awesome game. Eight players fouled out, including K-Mart and both Wallaces. Crazy stuff.

After the game, we were trying to figure out if the NBA allowed for unlimited overtime, and if so, what was the longest game ever?

From NBA.com:

January 6, 1951: The Indianapolis Olympians defeated the Rochester Royals 75-73 in six overtimes--the longest game in NBA history.

I've never even heard of these teams. Rochester, with an NBA franchise? I doubt that could happen in today's TV market-driven world of pro sports.
