I thought the same thing but I just went and re-watched.
Kyle was looking to call a time-out when Kawhi was bring the ball over half court. Kawhi looked at Kyle as well and signalled for a timeout, he was totally gassed.
So I was initially angry at Nurse, but it was our 2 best players making the call, so that makes that part more palatable.
I thought so too, but when Kawhi was asked about this in his press conference, he didn't seem to know exactly why Nurse called the timeout.
He said he just assumed that he was trying to give them rest.
Yeah I saw that in the presser as well.
I just re-watched again, and yes I believe the whole time out sequence was initiated by Kyle.
Kyle looked to Nurse to get approval to call one, Nurse must have agreed, then when Kawhi looked at Kyle for the play, a time out was called.
So I guess we can put the 3 minute time out on Kyle.
As Kawhi said in the presser, if we won, no one would be talking about it.
