Kawhi Leonard’s excellent performance in these playoffs continues, as he scored 33 points in Game 3 against the Philadelphia 76ers to bring his scoring average up to 31.5 in the postseason. It still wasn’t enough, as the Raps fell down 2-1 in the series in a blowout loss.
There are a number of culprits, as the Raptors will tell you themselves. Lowry was blunt, saying that the team — including himself — wasn’t giving Kawhi any help, and that that will have to change.
Besides Kawhi, Pascal Siakam (20 points) and Danny Green (13) were the Raptors’ only other scorers in double figures. Meanwhile, Lowry connected on just 2 of 10 shots for 7 points.
The Raptors know they have some adjustments to make. First on the list for Nick Nurse and staff? Play a hell of a lot harder.
