I'm going to partially disagree with the common answer here.
The block by B1 does not necessarily end the try nor does the contact by B3. It really depends on where B3 was relative to the block/ball. If the ball is still heading generally toward the basket when it glances off B3, I'm counting the basket if it goes. If it were heading in a direction that would clearly not go in had it not hit B3, I would not count it.
