He was not vertical IMO. He jumped forward towards an airborne shooter IMO. So all the contact he had with LBJ was not legal. Again, my opinion, but it was also close and LBJ did not help himself by going so far under the basket which I think the official probably thought about in order to not actually call the foul. He was giving the ball back to the Cavs anyway and probably did not see the contact as obvious. And LBJ took on about 3 guys too which also would make me pause on a close contact play like this.
Peace
