You said they ONLY played gobert and favors together against the opposing starters. I guarantee that isn't true and is almost impossible.
Different teams substitute different positions at different times depending on all kinds of factors.
Guaranteed that gobert and favors were on the floor against backups many times.
I'll take your word for it. In the games I saw, Favors went out after the first 6 minutes of the first and third quarter, and was not on the floor at the same time as Gobert otherwise.
