After eagerly waiting all summer, fans breathed a sigh of relief this weekend following Saturday night’s easy victory over the Portland Trailblazers. And they’ll get another chance to watch what this group can do tonight against the Utah Jazz. Continuing their Northwest escapade, the Raptors and Jazz tip-off at 9pm EST in Salt Lake City.
Kawhi Leonard, who scored 12 points in 19 minutes against the Blazers, will look to build off of his strong opening-night performance against a defensively adept Jazz team. Kyle Lowry also showed flashes of being in mid-season form, making 8-of-8 free throws and a three-pointer.
