NBA 2018-19: 3 Talking points from the Toronto Raptors' win over the Miami Heat

#2 Kawhi Leonard had himself a classic night, outlined by a game-high score

Kawhi Leonard is averaging almost 27 points per game this season.

For the previous game, Nick Nurse sat Kawhi Leonard down on the second night of a back-to-back, as is the norm, and a result of which the Sixers handed his team a brutal beating. He was back in the starting lineup against Heat and finished with a game-high 30 points and 8 rebounds in the 35 minutes he was on the court.

He looked sharp and shot the ball at a decent 9-of-20 from the floor, attempting 11 free-throws on the night and missing just one.

The Raptors were without point guard Kyle Lowry (back pain) but the Claw's heroics saw his team through in a game they woke up late. He has scored at least 28 points in the last four games he has played and is averaging 1.8 steals per game this season.
