6 years agoToronto Raptors shooting guard/small forward Kawhi Leonard needed just 26 minutes to rattle in 18 points on 6-for-12 shooting in the easy win over the Clippers on Sunday. Leonard was often defended by the smaller Avery Bradley, so the Raps exposed this mismatch throughout the game by getting Leonard the ball on the block and it paid dividends. Leonard added five rebounds, with two assists and a block with three triples. The Raptors do not have a back-to-back set until the middle of March, so hopefully, for his owner's sake, the 'load management' phase for Leonard has past.--Gianni Costantiello
