Ugly scene. It's unfortunate that it was missed by the crew. The only video I saw was just that very small snippet. Impossible to know if anything had preceded this that might have the officials on "high alert". The L was maybe straightlined and looking through the back of the player who threw the elbow?
That's all I can think of as to why this blatantly flagrant (2) act was missed.
I guess the lesson to learn would be to always move to improve when you have offense AND defense in your area.
