Why did he ricochet like that by the air

One of the most absurdly funny situations I’ve ever witnessed.

They probably spent the whole time discussing if they were allowed to simply rule that a non-call and give the Lakers the ball as there was no actual contact on this play. I’m guessing there’s something in the rulebook preventing them from overturning this without a coach’s challenge, but they were probably looking at it on the replay like “whoops, we screwed this one up.”
