I thought they both messed up on the finish. Phelps admitted he came into the wall on a half stroke. I thought he said he got lucky and screwed up less - the half stroke was faster than the glide in stroke.
I wouldn't call Phelps finish a screw up...exhaustion at that point was taking its toll and his power off the wall and in his stroke was fading fast which caused him to lose 1/2 a stroke-if anything his reaction to the situation shows how heads up he was...Cavic lifting his head at the touch to see his time is a mistake and cost him the win.
