Gotta admit from the other angle it looked less like a pull down and more like the defender did get a hold of the ball, and then Garland may have tripped over a foot. Whether that makes it not a foul, I don't know ... the refs often start ignoring things once they feel the ball is "up for grabs".
Clearly we still have a ways to go in terms of fundamentals like dealing with pressure, especially coming out of a timeout when they should have a clear plan.
Strus was amazing, hopefully we see this version of him again in the playoffs.

The problem is that Green can be seen holding Garlands arm. Even if he did in fact trip over his leg (and it’s looking like he did), that’s still a foul on Green.

Green does get his hands on the ball (which you can kind of see from the closeup of this angle) and once that happens the refs do tend to let things play out. If he pulls Garland over trying to rip the ball out of his hands, that's legal. Green's knee under Garland's leg, however, certainly could have been called a foul, but we'll see what the 2-minute report concludes.

Jon, Green clearly has no part of the ball when he pulls Garland down. None.

Like I said, once the defender successfully gets his hands on the ball, refs will often just swallow their whistle and let things play out even to the point of a scrum or scramble on the floor.
It's also likely no ref was able to see both angles, just like we're only looking at one angle; but the broadcast did capture the other angle and it's disingenuous really for anyone to talk about the play without showing all the angles available.

There are three officials looking at the court from three angles for a reason. Garland was dragged down to the court, back first, with the ball still in his hands, and no defenders hands on it. Someone saw that.

The only mistake they saw is that Allen should have been called for 3 seconds at 1:54.
Of note ...
"12.0: Green (DAL) gets his hand on the ball to tie up Garland (CLE) before incidental contact occurs between the two players."
"3.8: Allen (CLE) gets to the height of the ball and makes contact with it during Washington's (DAL) shot attempt at the basket. Any ensuing contact with Washington's wrist is marginal."
