TORONTO -- Kawhi Leonard was subbed out of Saturday's 108-95 Game 1 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers with just more than three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Up to that point, he'd made 16 of the 23 shots he'd attempted and 10 of 11 free throws to bring his scoring total to 45 points.
It was a career playoff high for the Toronto Raptors superstar and tied for the most he'd scored in any game of his NBA career.
Leonard said he wished he was pulled from the game sooner.
