that took the Raptors time to adjust to — Cousins coming in. I think you could be right and I thought the same thing, but it is so hard to guage emotional impact. Too many variables.
Nurse's late 4th qtr timeout was another key disruption to the flow of the game. I kind of understand why he did that. I think they were up by 6 with the ball and were just standing around in the half court. He probably guessed they were a little gassed after there run and did not want to waste an offensive possession that could have all but ended the game. Instead, Klay comes out of the timeout matched against Leonard and completely locks him up and hits two huge 3s on Kawhi on the other end. Was that emotion, rest, personnel change or adjustment, all of those?
