I did not see the game so I know not of what I speak.
Control on a throw back like this is the hardest call for me to make on the court. I have a hard time rationalizing that this is control of the ball. This, whether or not, he is on the floor or in the air and going out of bounds trying to save the ball.

Recref,
We have to draw our own lines on this judgement call.
Through our individual experiences we learn to judge the differences between touching, batting, holding.
For my rationalization, if a player "throws" the ball (
that is, directs the ball in a desirable direction), then there is a point (and maybe only briefly) at which the player is, in fact, holding the ball and thus has control... whether it is with one hand or both hands.
