The top of the backboard is inbounds, and I agree that you can't tell if it hit the supports on the way up based on the camera angle. That being said, I don't believe that it hit a support to make it fall off the top of the backboard and go through the hoop.
I think the biggest factor in determining whether this is a valid basket or not, is the score. The team who made it is already down 23 points to start the 4th quarter. Give the girl a little love, and 2 points in the book!! 😀
