Raptors drop Game 2 after Sixers exploit Leonard’s weakness

It has become fashionable, and not entirely inaccurate, to say that James Harden of Houston has broken basketball. You can’t guard him without setting off an intense debate over officiating, apparently. It’s exhausting.

But quietly, Kawhi Leonard has been in the process of breaking the game in his own Easter Island statue way. Going into Toronto’s Game 2 against the Philadelphia 76ers, some people had compared his playoff season to Michael Jordan, but there was a difference: Jordan was never this efficient, if only because nobody else has been, either.
