There is a video from the angle of the trail somewhere where you can see that the ballhandler was not in great shape as he entered the paint, the defender bumped him from the rear/side and you can see the dribbler pushed to the side, contributing to him going down. None had a good look at it. The drive was a bit ill-advised. But I agree, a good ballhandler that gets contact from a defender not in legal position and goes down, benefit of the doubt should go to the ballhandler.
I also think the action in the paint should have been a foul, you can see the offensive player pulled and turned at an angle consistent with the pull backward.
