time out versus insufficient material?

my understanding is that as no side can win with say only a knight, then the result when the knight and king have time but the other guy does not should be a time out versus insufficient material, but i just had a loss in that situation.
Did you have any material?

In a k+n/b vs. k+n/b endgame checkmates are possible.
Please post the game for helpful people to find helpmates and prove you wrong.
Thou shall not spread fake news.

According to FIDE et al. a minor piece vs. a minor piece without pawns will be a time-win for either side (exception: B vs. B of the same color)
i see thanks to vio7. As for the respectable Sarg0n i think that it is wrong to accuse me of fake news! I was simply unaware of that checkmate thats all that was. However, that said, the vio7 checkmate is ridiculous. And Sarg0n other comment is not relevant as i had a pawn.
Could vio7 or any other interested party please suggest a way that the ridiculous checkmate could be arrived at that cannot be accused of sandbagging? !
Wrong topic. Helpmates occur and they are not considered sandbagging. That’s out of question.
