I think it was to Hill but he couldn't put his body into the throw because the rush got through. That would explain why the nose was down coming out of his hands. Getting hit to the body on his arm side like he did is more likely to bring that ball down rather than up, so it's more likely that he was going to Hill and took a shot that changed the trajectory than it is that he airmailed it to West.
The tumble on the ball flight tells me that it was intended for Hill and he was going to try to get it up and over Chung. Based on how on target he was the rest of the night, that's the answer that makes the most sense.
