The key is which foot is the pivot foot when the dribble ends. He landed left-right at the end of his dribble. This makes the left foot his pivot foot. Once he lifted his left foot, he had to shoot before his left foot touched the ground again. When his left foot touched the ground, it became a traveling violation.

Isn't it just two ways of asking the same question? The question is whether his dribble ended before his left foot cleared the ground, in which case the right foot was the pivot and it wasn't a travel unless and until the right foot returned to the ground. Looks like the left foot was clear before the dribble ended, but it's not absolutely clear on the replay because you can't see his left hand.
