Toronto took Game 3 at home in double overtime Sunday, 118-112. Kawhi Leonard continued his brilliance in this postseason with 36 points, eight in the second OT. He played 52 minutes, a career high, and added nine rebounds and five assists despite a leg injury. Leonard has 10 games of at least 30 points through his team’s first 15 playoff games. That’s tied for the third most in the past 20 seasons. LeBron James had 11 of them in 2017 and Amare Stoudemire 11 in 2005.
Pascal Siakam had 25 points and 11 rebounds Sunday. Marc Gasol broke out with 16 points, 12 rebounds, seven assists and five blocks. Gasol played so well that fellow big man Serge Ibaka was limited to 14 minutes off the bench. It has been the bench where the Raptors have been dominated, but Norman Powell came up big in Game 4 among the reserves with 19 points. The Raptors improved to 4-1 in the playoffs when Powell contributes 13 or more points.
