NBA lane violations

Did anyone see the traveling violation that Steve Javie called on Gary Payton in the 2nd half? Payton picked up his dribble in the BC. With no one to pass to, he stepped, picked up his pivot but didn't return it to the floor. Javie whistled the travel.

Looked good to me as well. In fact I rewound it at the time and checked it a few times. What surpised me was nobody (player, coach, announcer) thought the call was strange. Wonder if the refs discussed that one later in a post game discusion.
--Ok the fact that the announcers ignored it didn't surprise me but I was thought Phil Jackson might say something.
