Kawhi Leonard has been in the news for a number of reasons this year. From his forced trade to the Raptors to his lurking free agency this summer. But none of this seems to concern Kawhi as he's back in business and is playing at a level everyone thought he would.

In this match, he took over the game and won it single-handedly for the Raptors. He scored 45 points on 16-22 shooting which proved to be too much for the Jazz to handle. Not only that, he was amazing in man defense as well and made sure that he never let his assigned defensive target to get hot.

Leonard has been averaging 27.3 points per game on 50% shooting throughout the season.

In their next game, the Raptors will face the San Antonio Spurs while the Utah Jazz will go to Cleveland to get back to winning ways.
