Without seeing it a second time, I initially thought it might be a good time for a PC. But if it's not that, how is it not at least a block? The announcers crowed about what a great no-call it was (without offering any reason why, of course) -- another reason to raise questions.

(If I could embed the clip, I would ... )
It wasn't a significant collision. The defender was there in time (2 fee down, in the path, facing) and remained legal. Then defender faded away a little. The shooter did NOT knock her down. The shooter, in trying to adjust to avoid contact, slipping to the side of the defender, was off balance and fell. There was some contact across the legs but it wasn't that much and wasn't the cause of either player going down.
