Kawhat? Kawhere? Kawhi!!!

All hail the King of the North. Kawhi Leonard looking like his old Finals MVP self Sunday night against the Process(76ers). Kawhi Leonard scored 39 points and a clutch three point field goal with one minute left on the clock to tie up the series 2-2. Marc Gasol scored 16 points and Kyle Lowry had 14 points. Jimmy Butler led the 76ers with 29 points followed by JJ Redick who scored 19 points. The 76ers are trying to reach the NBA Conference Finals, they haven’t been there since Allen Iverson in 2001. Toronto has been bounced out the semi finals for two straight years due to LeBron and the Cavaliers.

Joel Embiid had a tough night playing through a illness, he only scored 11 points. Embiid was 2-7 from the field and received most of his points from the free throw line going 7-10. Embiid was their key to winning the game, it was his 33 points from the previous game that ensured their win.

Tobias Harris scored 16 points while Simmons scored 10 points with a plus/minus of -16. Toronto has played tremendous defense on Simmons to clog the paint so he can’t go the basket and forces him to shoot which they know he won’t because he shoots under 30 percent from farther than 10 feet.

Kawhi Leonard is man among boys, each shot he has taken were all good looks and gets to the spots that he want at ease. The best part about it is that he single handedly destroy teams with no face expression. With Leonard contract coming to a end the Raptors will be pressured to find creative ways to retain their superstar.
