Kawhi was himself again after an underwhelming showing in Game 1.

Kawhi has had a huge hand in Toronto's five-game winning streak in the playoffs ever since going down 2-0 against the Bucks. The Raps managed to make good work of the champs in Game 1 despite a subpar scoring total (24 points) from The Klaw. However, as expected from playoff Leonard, he put together a game-high 34 points on 16 made free throws along with 14 rebounds for game 2.

Despite shooting 8-of-20 from the floor and 2-of-9 from beyond the arc, Kawhi made sure he got the line at regular intervals and kept the scoreboard ticking to keep his team afloat.

A major anomaly for the Raptors appeared in the form of Pascal Siakam who after scoring a game-winning 32 points in the previous one could only manage 12 points in this particular contest. He shot an unacceptable 5-of-18 from the field and 0-of-3 from the deep. Spicy P did have 8 boards and 5 dimes having played a game-high 41 minutes.
