Game 4 Turning Point: Kawhi’s two-way mastery drives Raptors’ breakout

Sullied by a case of the spring flu, Kawhi Leonard struggled offensively in Game 3, notching just 16 points in the Raptors’ five point victory. Upon hearing that he was still under the weather entering Sunday’s game, fans might’ve taken pause. It was an important game to be sure, and the Raptors only escaped Game 3 thanks to the heroic play of Pascal Siakam and his playoff career-high 30 points. If Kawhi wasn’t 100 percent, they’d need a similar performance from Siakam, or anybody else, to carry the offense en route to a potential victory.
