ORLANDO, FLA.—A little more than a week into this highly anticipated Raptors playoff run, we’re starting to establish a few things.
Pascal Siakam is a breakout NBA star even the Raptors probably didn’t quite see coming. Kawhi Leonard looks about as close to a machine-like basketball assassin as any player Toronto’s NBA team has ever employed. Oh, and in a development not unrelated to those bits of emerging truth, we learned something else watching Sunday night’s Game 4 here at the dispirited Amway Center, where even the criminally loud piped-in noise couldn’t drown out the sound of the air seeping out of a suddenly dispirited Magic fan base.
