No call or foul? (Clips)

What is the call?

I would deem the contact between the players' legs to be incidental. The leg contact had nothing to do with the shooting motion of A1.

And I'll reiterate a favorite question around here... what did the defender do wrong?

Defender is moving toward the shooter.

Umm... ok, I guess. But that still does not convince me that no-calling this play is wrong.

9:45 remaking in 1st quarter of clippers/thunder game there was a block called a foul in a similar play to these. Could someone post the video so we can discuss this play?

Me neither but if the defender were to be called for anything on this play it would be for moving forward into the shooter.
