You saw that right. Josh Smith moved his pivot foot about four times and took a couple other steps and was somehow not called for a travel. NBA refs are not helping themselves when a guy clearly moves about four feet away from the basket without ever dribbling and they don't call anything.
The Houston Rockets forward must have some sort of sympathy from the refs because his career has taken a downturn from his time in Atlanta. Fortunately, the Utah Jazz won the game 117-114 so that blatant non-call didn't hurt too bad.
