During a crucial moment in the game, Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse appeared to attempt to call a timeout in a rather unconventional manner, leading to confusion among viewers and even some players on the court.
In a video capturing the moment, Nurse can be seen making a motion as if he were about to call a timeout. However, instead of following through with the timeout call, he quickly retracted his hand as the ball became loose on the court.
Watch Nick Nurse. He pump faked the timeout and then tried to call it when the ball was loose. pic.twitter.com/k9U7f15NpD
