We must be watching different videos.....

1) I though that the ball just ticked the front of the ring and came straight down on the second FT. That's why they headed up-court with no throw-in.

2) Looked to me like the defender went sideways and then low-bridged the offensive player. Always a dangerous act. I'd have thought very seriously about calling that sucker flagrant.
