Definitely an illegal screen that caused the train wreck, but that’s tough for the official to see when he’s on-ball, refereeing the defense, and three players come together bang-bang. Would have been a great get, but it’s also an understandable miss.
That said, the announcers didn’t help, but I think Raymond is right. I think they decided the airborne shooter had returned to the floor. So two shots due to double bonus, not due to a two-point try.
But that airborne shooter clearly had not returned to the floor. Moreover, 99.9% of the time on plays like that we err on the side of saying the shooter was still airborne. So it’s very puzzling in a key moment like this that the crew wouldn’t do so (especially since it wasn’t really even close).
