I *think* if the lob had gone in without anyone touching it it would have been a turnover. It had to be tapped in -- of course that almost happened too.

without actually knowing the rule I am quite sure that you can't make a shot
without a player on the floor touching the ball. That being true, I think it's
safe to say it would have been a TO.
It's certainly true the basket wouldn't count. Not sure if it would be a TO. I guess it might be like throwing an inbounds pass that nobody touches and it goes out of bounds -- that's a TO. Or it could be a jump ball -- like if you threw an inbounds pass that gets stuck on the rim.
