I would probably attribute Kawhi getting tired on having to guard Luka a lot and carry a lot of the Clippers offense. He pretty much carried the team on his back coming back from 0-2 deficit. He's played over 40 minutes every game this series except 1, and coming off a grueling condensed regular season schedule. He's also accustomed to a lot of workload management. Definitely an interesting subplot going forward.
