It only takes a few inches of an extended shoulder, elbow, hip, knee or leg to knock an opponent off-stride, or in this case, to the floor.
If you have to stop the video to that level to prove something, it was not that obvious as you stated. And the contact is with the torso, not an extended foot or arm. The screen was simply not seen and why the contact mostly took place. I did not see the screener go out of his way to contact the defender (which is more of my standard to call an illegal screen) so that the screened player would run into him.
