As for Toronto, former Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard led the Raptors in scoring with 34 points, grabbing 14 rebounds, and dishing out three assists. After the game, Leonard talked about where defensive broke down in the third quarter.
” I feel like in that third quarter, we didn’t score the ball in the first five minutes, and it led to them getting out in transition early. It led to a lot of layups and open looks, and that was pretty much the game right there. They went on an 18-0 run I believe, and you can’t do that with a championship team on the other side,” said Leonard.
He would continue:
“I feel our pace was good early; it was just that third quarter it just really killed us. 18-0 run, and we can’t score any baskets your not going to win any games.” When asked the difference between Games 1 win and Game 2 loss.
The series heads back to the Bay Area for Games 3 and 4 as the Warriors look to defend their home floor, which will be at least two of the final games at Oracle Arena. The Warriors will be moving into their new Chase Arena next Season in San Francisco.
