A target takes 8d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. By definition, all area-of-effect spells (that I know of) are able to affect more than a single creature. Thus, AoE spells, including fireball can’t generally be twinned.

What happens when you RAM a sphere into something?
The sphere /can/ cause damage twice. When you ram it into something, the creature saves and takes damage. If it ends it’s turn next to the ball (did not use it’s movement to escape) then it saves and takes damage again. The save is /always/ the character’s DC, the DC does not vary based on the sphere’s damage.
What does ” against the sphere’s damage ” mean?
“Against the sphere’s damage” only means that the sphere’s damage is the consequence of failure; it does not mean the sphere’s damage is the DC. It would say that if it meant that. I do think the phrasing is confusing and could be improved. This is a ‘proof by verbocity’ logical fallacy.
Can a Rai be made after a damage roll?
The only saves made after a damage roll are typically secondary effects of attacks (attack rolls), and concentration saves. This is a pure saving throw spell, so the RAI is almost assuredly that the save is made against the casters spell save DC and the effect is damage (halved on a successful save).
