When Gabby Williams hit a buzzer-beater at the end of Sunday's gold-medal game between Team USA and France at the Paris Olympics, it caused a bit of a scare for the Americans.

However, Team USA's Breanna Stewart knew immediately that Williams' foot was touching the three-point line, preserving a 67-66 win for Team USA and giving the team its eighth straight gold medal:

Team USA faced its toughest test of the Olympic Games against a France team that was clearly motivated to deliver a victory in front of its home fans in Paris. After entering the game averaging 14.8 turnovers through its first five games of the tournament, the team had 15 turnovers at halftime against France. The Americans fell behind by as many as 10 points in the third quarter before making a comeback.

Stewart was one of the many Team USA players to struggle offensively on Sunday, as she finished with just eight points on 2-of-8 shooting. However, she didn't let that affect the rest of the game and played great defense with two steals and two blocks, one of which came with just 20 seconds left in the fourth quarter to help preserve the lead.

Williams, who led France with 19 points, had made a three-pointer with five seconds on the clock to cut the lead to 65-64. After a pair of free throws by Kaleah Copper, Williams had one last opportunity to force overtime, and it looked like she pulled off a miracle before it was seen that her foot was on the line.

In addition to Team USA's eighth straight gold medal, the win extends the team's Olympic winning streak to 61 straight games. Per ESPN, it's just the third time during that streak that a game has been decided by single digits.
