Score 2 or 3?
Relevant rules use the word THROWN to mean different things. In 4-41-2 "thrown" means a try. In 5-2-1 try and tap are already used and the rule uses "thrown" as a 3rd method.
4-41-2 A try for field goal is an attempt by a player to score 2 or three points by throwing the ball into a teams own basket. A player is trying for goal when the player has the ball, and in the official judgment is throwing or attempting to throw for goal.
5-2-1 A successful try tap or thrown ball from the field by a player who is located behind the teams own 19'9" arc counts three points. A ball that touches the floor, a teammate inside the ark and official or any other goal from the field counts two points for the team into basket, the ball is thrown.

What direction was the ball going? If it is not going towards the basket, it is not a try. If it is, it is a try. If it is a try, it is worth 3 points. There was a case play about basket interference on a throw-in, where the offended team was awarded 2 points. The rationale was that a throw-in is not a try.
