Because both battles occurred simultaneously.

Blake was there when it began, but remember. The Deathstalker broke the platform. It could have contributed to knocking her off AFTER Nora bumps into her. That would explain the explosions that occurs during the Deathstalker fight as they were the grenades launched by Nora during the fight we see (at that time, the Nevermore just collapses the building Team RWBY was on.

By my theory, the string of events looks like this:

1) Nora bumps into Blake. Off-screen, Blake lands near the edge. Back on-screen, the Deathstalker breaks the platform, causing Blake to stumble over the edge off-screen.

2) Blake joins the rest of RWBY while JNPR begins their fight against the Deathstalker.

3) The Nevermore causes the building to collapse.

4) Ruby launches off after she develops her plan (quite possibly to fill Blake and Yang in on the plan off-screen). At this time, JNPR defeats the Deathstalker and looks up at RWBY's battle.

5) RWBY defeats the Nevermore.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is this: What the viewers see in the episode does not necessarily proceed in a chronological order.
