Really tough call in real time, though. Given the relative motion of the two players involved, I can certainly see how it may have appeared to the L that the defender was moving forward. That happens when the offensive player has a lot of downhill momentum and the contact is significant.

Having two feet down while not in the path (where he started) is not enough to establish LGP. The defender must get two feet on the floor while facing AND in the path. While the defender wasn't moving forward, what isn't clear from the video is whether the defender got that 2nd foot down to establish LGP once he got in the path of the opponent. From the angle provided, I can't say whether he did or didn't.
