Perhaps I worded it poorly...they had a personal foul...followed by a call for a flagrant foul penalty one for the dead ball contact. Upon review, they downgraded that to a technical foul.

And you're generally right that one can not call a technical foul for live ball contact in the NBA except for fighting fouls and/or taunts with physical contact.

Not sure what others are saying when they say the lead could have called it earlier... it appears to me that the lead called the foul pretty much when it occurred.
