This is a play that 98% of the time is called against the defender. I have no problem with Bennet Salvatore's call here because Pierce jumps sideways. But the NBA call, in general, is to call this against the defender; and it seems a really strange time to swim that hard against the tide.

Is this call correct?

Is it appropriate for the game and situation?
Personally, I really liked the call, as well as being really surprised that call was made.
When I make similar calls on a high school floor, I make 1/2 the people really upset!
