After watching it several times, I have no doubt it went in.
If it didn't go in, that ball has to be a long lost relative of the JFK magic bullet, because its path defies logic otherwise.
You'll also notice the player who collects the ball wasn't even looking up at the basket. He was watching the mess of players in the air flying past the basket. He just sees the ball come bouncing back at him and assumes the shot didn't go in. The player to his right (21) did watch the ball go through, and he starts walking toward the endline to start a throw in. He's clearly confused when he watches his teammate just start dribbling up the floor.
The ball went in.
