Terrible basketball play!
The only person actually making a decent basketball play is the screener. Screener's defender allows his guard to get screened and is too lazy to even get up and "show" - forcing the ball-handler to pause...
The on-ball defender acts like this is a one-on-one game and he doesn't notice the ball-handler motioning for the screen; and the ball handler doesn't give the screener enough time to get in position.
The Trail is doing a good job to avoid being straight-lined, but seems (IMO) to get caught by surprise by this contact - which may explain the weird mechanics...
I put this call in my "I didn't love that call" category.
I admire the guts to make the call, but unless we've had others like this during the game I'd leave this one alone.
