The Raptors needed every ounce of Kawhai’s greatness. And from the jump, he was unstoppable. 70 burst by Philly. Leonard in. It’s ranged over, but it’s one-on-one. It’s a fake. Leonard looking to weave his way. He does. Beautiful Smith. Leonard turns Leonard head and shoulder fake. Haynes, gets the bounce. Game one, Kawhai came out surgical.
