We rewarded good offensive play but not good defensive play. Their reward was a no call.

I agree with you. The defender made a choice to cut off the drive instead of staying with the shooter. He made this choice as the dribbler was bring the ball up the court after catching it near mid-court. The defender made a good play and the official allowed his team to lose the game because of it.
