No, it wouldn't matter.

Here's the point. If an official administers the ball to the wrong team for a throw-in and the throw-in is completed, it's not correctable. If the official places the ball on the floor and the wrong team grabs it, or if the wrong team grabs the ball after a made basket, an official has not administered the throw-in. In either case, this case play would apply and the situation can be corrected.

If it's an honest mistake, kill the play and give the ball to the proper team. If you feel it's intentional, which would be difficult to judge IMHO, assess a T.
