Did Kobe foul Nelson?

I’ve seen the replay of this about 100 times today, and I’m still trying to figure out if the right call was made. When Kobe Bryant passed out front to Derek Fisher for the 3-pointer that gave the Lakers the lead for good in overtime, Bryant cracked Orlando’s Jameer Nelson in the face with an elbow. Was it a foul? Or was it just part of the action of making the pass? What do you guys think? Oh, and can we discuss this without profanity? Please. Thanks.
