Kawhi Leonard at the end of this clip says the reason he only played 25 minutes is his knee didn’t respond the way he hoped after Game 1. “We’re going to get it right,” he said, not sounding terribly confident.

Kawhi: “I wanted to be on the floor to help the team… frustrated that this happened to me this late in the season”
He expects to play Game 4: “I want to play.”
In my mind they rode him too hard in the first game with 35 high intense playoff minutes, which was a big gamble, that wasn’t really necessary after winning game one without him.
Now we have a much shorter turnaround to game 4 early on sunday, I guess he won’t look much better in that game healthwise.
