And nothing from this clip tells me this is a definite foul. It appears to me there is contact with the hand either right before the release or just after the release (and in fact, it looks like he gets contact with the ball before all of that). Afterward, the shooter fails his arms in an attempt to draw the foul.

You could be correct, but the way he starts to go up with the 3 pt attempt and quickly drops it, looks more to me like he recognized L had gone up with the attempt. He's in a horrible position to make this call either way.
I agree there was probably some acting by the shooter, but I do see contact below the wrist after contact with the ball. I think it's a good call.
