Raptors fall to Rockets in Leonard’s return

The Toronto Raptors got their all-star forward back, but the overall team game disappeared for most of Friday night in Houston.

Kawhi Leonard returned after sitting out four games, only to be part of one of the more disappointing performances of the last three weeks in a 121-119 loss to the Houston Rockets. It is not at all a suggestion that Leonard was the problem. Toronto went through long stretches of ineptitude at both ends of the court, and up and down the lineup, as they lost their second straight game.
