It was off a timeout, which is practically the only time Kidd bothers to run a play (insert “Ice, Ice!” here.) Is that a play they work on in practice? Powell looked like the first option off the Luka double. Not sure because I haven’t seen a replay, but that’s how it seemed real time.

I think you are right. There was a pick set for Kyrie to go right. Then Luka was blocking players from being able to get to Powell. So the action certainly looked like it was designed to open up a corner 3.
