NETHERLANDS TIE IT WITH TWO SECONDS LEFT! 16-16!
Overtime beckons. First to two points wins. The Dutch miss a two attempt and France sink a layup.
Out the ball goes to the Dutch… an effort for two… AND IT’S GOOD!
Netherlands beat France in remarkable scenes. 18-17 in OT.
Earlier, Lithuania beat Latvia 21-18 for bronze – meaning the defending champs Latvia leave without a medal.
