A total of two inches separated France from a silver medal finish, and a chance to send the game to overtime and vie for the gold medal against Team USA.

Trailing 67-64 with just seconds left on the clock, France's Gabby Williams pulled up for a game-tying buzzer-beater and found the bottom of the net. The only problem? Her foot was on the line.

The Americans won their eighth straight gold medal after the shot was ruled a two, 67-66. It was a wild back-and-forth game that looked to be in doubt several times in the second half for Team USA.

After the final shot fell, basketball fans on social media went crazy at the result.

A'ja Wilson led the way for Team USA with 21 points, and she was dominant down the stretch on both ends of the floor. Team USA now heads home with the gold medal in both the men's and women's basketball events once again.
