5-2-1, "A successful try, tap or thrown ball from the field by a player who is located behind the team's own ...arc counts three points."

4-41-4: The try ends when the throw is successful, when it is certain
the throw is unsuccessful, when the thrown ball touches the floor or when
the ball becomes dead.

And the case that goes with that:

4.41.4 SITUATION B: A1’s three-point try is short and below ring level when it hits the shoulder of: (a) A2; or (b) B1 and rebounds to the backboard and through the basket.

RULING: The three-point try ended when it was obviously short and below the ring. However, since a live ball went through the basket, two points are scored in both (a) and (b). (5-1)

Now re-read the rule:

"A successful try, tap or thrown ball from the field by a player who is located behind the team's own ...arc counts three points."

So yes, the 3-point try had ended. But it is still a thrown ball from the field outside the 3-point arc. The case here actually contradicts the rule. I agree that the intent of the rule is for this play to be a 2-point basket, but that's not what it says. The rule needs to be clarified to match the case play.
