The Philadelphia 76ers will be facing a double whammy when they visit the Toronto Raptors tonight in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference semifinal.
They must figure out how to win in Toronto and, more importantly, how to deal with Kawhi Leonard, who scored a career playoff-best 45 points in the Raptors’ 108-95 Game 1 victory on Saturday.
“He’s a tough player, I mean he’s Kawhi,” said Philadelphia’s Ben Simmons, who matched up against Leonard. “He’s a physical guy, a lot of length; he can shoot the ball, so he’s a tough guy to match up on.”
“Incrementally, just every year he gets more dominant,” 76ers coach Brett Brown said.
