The defender had LGP at first. However, once the dribbler tried going around him the defender slid sideways and towards the dribbler, instead of sliding sideways and lateral with the dribbler.
I could see a charging call if the dribbler did something to initiate contact, such as putting a shoulder down or leaning into the defender. Or even if he didn't try to go around the defender at all. But neither thing happened.
The dribbler clearly tried to go around the defender, and the defender did not legally move into his path... initiating contact.
