James was bringing the ball up the court. As he brought the ball up past half court, he hesitates and pauses his dribble for literally no reason. Jazz forward Bojan Bogdanovic didn’t take quite as long to recognise the miscue, signalling to the referee as soon as it happened. Instead of being called for a double dribble or travel, the officials fail no notice, and the game continued.
