The referee came back onto the court and ruled the shot counted, an emotionally devastating decision for Belarus. Officials immediately counted the basket, then went to replay to confirm whether the ball was out of Miyem's hand before time had expired. RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) " Endy Miyem scored her game-winning shot just as time was expiring and France stunned Belarus by pulling out a 73-72 win Sunday night in the Olympic women's basketball group play.
