No. You cannot spike the ball after a fumble. The intentional grounding call would have been correct except for the fact that it was a backwards pass.

Exactly.
The rules allow for spiking the ball immediately to stop the clock. When you throw in the fumble, with defenders now going after the ball, now you have the element of the QB spiking it to avoid taking a loss. Can't do that.
