Nope. A2 doesn't have possession so you can't call a held ball. B2 didn't enact or commit any bodily contact so you can't call a foul on B2. A2 didn't have player control of the ball when he went to the floor so you can't call traveling on A2. Soooooo...unless B2 also went to the floor after grabbing the ball, there really isn't anything to call afaik. Play on, McDuff, and damn be him who first cries "enuff".
