It used to be an automatic call everywhere but the NBA, sadly that is not the case anymore.

Just watching the replay. Not seeing that at all. Here's the play-by-play off my PVR:
#12 receives pass and lands right foot - left foot (legal)
Dribbles once, picks up dribble, lands with right foot barely ahead of the left foot
Shot fakes - defender goes airborne (nothing)
Shooter moves right foot while jumping
I'm thinking official on the play gives #12 the two-foot jump stop off the dribble, and therefore no travel.
Technically, you could say travel - but it's a ticky-tack call on that kind of play.
