    Do we have any basketball fans who can solve this discrepancy?
    Flashscore are saying it finished 78-79

    Sofascore are going with 75-79

    Final seconds shown from 1:42:47


    I'm not clear on the rules so don't know if the final 3 pointer would count?
    Thanks

    Both my daughters play so I know most of the rules after years of going to games.
    If the player shoots before the buzzer sounds it is valid.
    This one is tricky, there is only 1 tenth of a second left on the clock,not enough time for the player to pass it and the other to shoot, but the buzzer went after he had shot so it counts.
    Final score on the screen was 78-79 that is the oficial score.

    Isn't the basket always in the air in basketball ;)
