I can understand the confusion, but the bad job is just the commentators. Right when he starts jumping Russell almost trips him with his foot. He does make contact and Anthony’s feet get tangled up mid air, the foul call isn’t questionable. It is in full speed, coming from behind and potentially very dangerous, it’s also unintentional and minimal contact. So they let Russel get away with it, but you certainly can call this either way.

Commenting to promote. I totally missed the foot contact the first few watches. As soon as I saw it, it made 100% sense that this needs review. Completely unintentional, but led to a quite dangerous situation.
