If ball strikes the floor without touching a player and bounces into the basket the TWO points are scored.
If the time expires while the ball is in flight or a foul occurs, then the try ends when the ball touches the floor.

The try ends when it is apparent that it will not be successful. That point is when the ball falls below the level of the ring. This is true whether or not a foul occurs or time expires.
What you meant to state above was that if time expires or a foul occurs while the ball is in flight after bouncing off the floor, then the ball becomes dead immediately at that point. The try was already over.
