The ball in this case is already dead when it enters the basket:

10.4 The ball does not become dead and the goal counts if made when:
• The ball is in flight on a shot for a field goal and [...] the game clock signal sounds for the end of the period.

But throwing the ball towards its own basket does not constitute "a shot for a field goal", according to:

15.1 A shot for a field goal [...] is when the ball is held in a player’s hand(s) and is then thrown through the air towards the opponents' basket.
(note that FIBA defines the basket that is attacked by a team as "the opponents' basket" and the basket which is defended by a team as "the team's own basket", art. 1.2.)

So dead ball - no basket - game over.
